Note di degustazione
A wild, exotic wine, the 2015 Chardonnay Bien Nacido Block UU emerges from a parcel of Chardonnay that was regrafted onto Riesling roots. Tangerine, acacia, honey, apricot jam and sage infuse the oily, voluptuous Chardonnay from Foxen. The Block UU Chardonnay is always long on personality, as it is once again in 2015.

The 2015 Chardonnay Bien Nacido Vineyard Block Uu reveals pleasant sulfide/struck match notes over a core of lemon curd, grapefruit and baking bread plus a waft of orange blossoms. Light to medium-bodied with a wicked backbone of racy acid, it delivers intense citrus and mineral layers with a nice perfumed lift to the finish.
Racy and lively, with lots of white flowers and minerality, as well as white peach and tangerine fruit, the 2015 Chardonnay Bien Nacido Vineyard Block UU (barrel fermented and aged in 20% new French oak) is medium-bodied, clean and classy on the palate. Give bottles a year.
