We had several bottles of the 2011 Amalie Robert Her Silhouette Chardonnay, a wine produced with no oak or malolactic fermentation. This Heirloom Cameo takes the opposite approiach. It was fermented and aged in French oak puncheons, given full malolactic fermentation and spent considerable time resting on its spent yeast cells. Nevertheless, the Dijon clones and the Willamette Valley terroir has kept it fresh and silky as well as luxurious 13 years after the vintage.
Medium deep yellow. A wide range of smells and flavors: white flowers, lemon zest, pineapple, cilantro, almonds. Leesy acidity, silky texture and a long, rich finish.
