Product Description
This is not a Chardonnay for the faint of heart; this is an intense wine. The nose offers every expression of the lemon: the juice, peel, zest, and curd. There’s notes of juniper and basil, apricot, hints of green apple, orange zest and a bit of biscuit. On the palate, those hints of apple become power chords of apple, with lemon oil, hazelnut, and herb salt. Bursting with acidity, and texturally creamy thanks to all that time on the lees, the wine finishes with a touch of marmalade on shortbread.
Imber is a blended still chardonnay. In 2020, it's a blend of 4 vineyards: Stafford Vineyard in the Willamette Valley, Tuckaway Vineyard in Elkton, Johan Vineyard in the Van Duzer Corridor, and Royer Vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills. Fermented and aged in neutral french oak for 16 months, this is a layered, saline chardonnay
