Smith & Sheth CRU Howell Vineyard Chardonnay 2020, Hawke's Bay

A bold and expressive bouquet with power and intensity. Aromas and flavours of baked peach and fresh nectarine, red apple and grapefruit peel. Oak layers in its voice quickly with flavours of baking spices and new toasty barrel sweetness. Tannins deliver structure and power quickly along with acidity set a decent foundation for ageing, the fruit and style. A delicious wine with intensity and single vineyard voice. Long finish with grest drinking from late 2023 through 2029.
