2015 Tendril Chardonnay
Tasting Notes
Enticing aromas of citrus flower, yellow apple, lemon curd, key lime pie and wildflower honey leap from the glass. The palate is juicy and round with flavors redolent of meyer lemon, honeydew melon, nutmeg, slight allspice, and bread dough with a pleasing finish.

Oregon Wine Press – 2015 Tendril Chardonnay
Whispers of lemon meringue and almond crust infused with the fragrance of orange blossom tickle the nose, along with sweet, buttery, vanilla-caramel popcorn that also appears on the palate. Dry with oak tannins in the front, a citrus, sweet rush of flavor mid-palate and, finally, a nicely nutty finish.
