St. Innocent Freedom Hill Chardonnay 2020

Lovely pale yellow gold color. Granny Smith apple, Bosc pear, and Elberta peach skin aromas are enhanced by Lilly of the Valley and baked apple notes (with a little cinnamon). The density of flavor is striking, almost like a fruit beurre blanc, with a rich depth of fruit extracts, more complexed by ground spices and almost dried fruit flavors. It is the balance of these extracts over the tongue accentuated by the juicy freshness of the acidity that continues into an extended finish. This is a new dimension for Freedom Hill Chardonnay.
