Rose Rock "Drouhin", Eola-Amity Hills, Willamette Valley, 2017 Chardonnay (Oregon), $28.89-$36.99, 90 points, was a lovely light to medium light yellow gold color with but a clear wine ring.
Aromas of lemon and Clementine zest, a sunflower floral note, and a hint of fennel were soft, but very nice.
Medium-bodied (very clean) dry white wine showed a great deal of minerality, a bit tart on nuanced Pomelos and lemon; appropriately acidic.
Finished fair on the fading palate and a spot-on 13.9% alcohol.
An excellent old-world Chardonnay.
Paired okay with my spinach pie with feta cheese, but was wonderful with my Japanese crab rangoon, honey roasted chicken wings, and Baklava for dessert.

With that Greek 'inspired' menu you should have had an Assyrtiko :)
ReplyDeleteHa!
ReplyDeleteGreek wines are few and far between in NH.
Not exactly ten a penny here in Napa either :(
