Huge aromas of honeysuckle, hazelnut, and smoke soar from the 2004 Chardonnay Clare (produced from an old Wente clone off the Hyde Vineyard). With superb fruit, more tightness and minerality, but good smokiness, spiciness, and richness..
Intense, with floral, citrus and hazelnut scents that are joined on the palate by ripe pear and green apple notes. Vibrant yet delicate, ending with a cleansing aftertaste that keeps the focus on the fruit. 190 cases made.
