2019 Martin Woods Chardonnay Yamhill Valley Vineyard Washington State 96+ Erin Brooks ERobertParkerRobert Parker 96 The 2019 Chardonnay Yamhill Valley Vineyard was matured in equal parts French and Oregon oak. This vintage has a singular expression that pairs richness and electricity. The nose offers pure white peach, lime panna cotta, roasted almonds and streaks of graphite, and the palate reveals that same dynamism, with tangy acidity that balances creamy citrus fruit and creates a shimmery feel on the long finish.
