Hogue Genesis Crawford Vineyard Chardonnay 1996

For many vintages, the Chardonnay from Crawford Vineyard has shown itself to be extraordinary. Typically aromatic with the scents of tropical fruit, these grapes usually offer complex and intense fruit flavors. The 1996 Crawford Vineyard Chardonnay is the first vintage of a single vineyard wine from this superb site. It offers an example of Columbia Valley Chardonnay at its finest, with a graceful balance between fruit and oak flavors. Toasty, creamy vanilla aromas lead to an ample palate of pear, citrus, guava and butter.
