Lingua Franca Avni Chardonnay, Willamette, Oregon, United States 2021

Description

Jeb Dunnuck 93

Pouring a brilliant straw hue, the 2021 Chardonnay Avni is elegant and focused, with notes of lemon balm, white flowers, fresh rain on pavement, and green apple skin. Focused, pure, and medium-bodied, with a chalky texture, it’s balanced and driven with fantastic energy without feeling austere and has a lovely flourish of fresh chive and spice on the finish. Drink it over the next 5-6 years.
