At Hudson Vineyard, the cold year and cool summer of 2006 yielded grapes with excellent natural acidity, great minerality and vibrant high-tone character. From its nut-crusted lemon cream, citrus, clove and spice aromatics to its juicy mouthful of peach and green apple flavors, this wine offers a lean, nervy expression of Chardonnay. Bright and balanced, it is already displaying focus and sophistication, and has the potential to age beautifully for years to come.

This is a medium to full-bodied, stylish, pure Chardonnay to enjoy over the next 3-4 years.” -Robert Parker
