Note di degustazione
The 2016 Chardonnay Richard Dinner Vineyard has developed striking depth and intensity since I last tasted it. Apricot, peach, yellow flowers and dried herbs are all laced together. Rich, textured and super-inviting, the 2017 is super-expressive and full if of character. There is a palpable sense of structure to this deep, mountain Chardonnay.

The 2016 Chardonnay Richard Dinner Vineyard comes charging out of the glass with super intense grapefruit, green mango, lime leaves and lemon curd scents plus touches of baking bread, coriander seed, crushed rocks and nutmeg. Full-bodied and laden with citrus and tropical fruit layers in the mouth, the palate has wonderful tension and a compelling oiliness to the texture, finishing very long with a mineral kick. 535 cases were made.
The 2016 Chardonnay Richard Dinner Vineyard is lifted and nuanced in this vintage, with more than enough aromatic presence to complement the intense fruit that is typical of this site. Apricot, peach, vanillin and lightly honeyed notes all flesh out in the glass. In 2016, the Dinner looks to be especially refined.
