Eric Guido, July 2025
The 2023 Chardonnay Eola Amity Hills is youthfully coy, opening slowly with a flinty, almost smoky character as lemon and lime mingle with nectarine and a whiff of ginger. Balanced inner sweetness and soothingly round textures meet juicy acidity and mineral-laced orchard fruit, creating a sense of pure pleasure. The finish is long and full of cheek-puckering tension, leaving the senses completely cleansed while a nuance of spice lingers. Nearly impossible to stop at just one glass.
