The Hilt, Old Guard Chardonnay Vintage:2010 Raspberries

Raspberries

A more deeply pitched nose combines notes of dark berries with those of floral

followed by intense layers of fruit that totally saturate the palate

The rich and nicely voluminous middle weight flavors exude a bracing minerality on the refined

This should repay a few years of keeping as it will need time to unwind

The Hilt, Old Guard Chardonnay Vintage:2010 Raspberries(55% fruit from Sanford & Benedict vineyard and 45% from Solomon Hills vineyard), Pale gold. Musky, heady aromas of yellow plum, poached pear, lemon pith and iodine. Pliant and creamy in texture, with a restrained sweetness to its deep orchard and citrus fruit flavors. Finishes spicy and long, with a smoky mineral nuance adding bite. Josh Raynolds
