Entirely from the Lone Star Vineyard, 2015 Nuthouse Chardonnay displays the richness and power of the EolaAmity Hills, while still balancing along its fluid frame. Yellow peach, lemon pith, marzipan, and roast cashew flicker around dense, yet crystalline delicacy. Entirely barrel fermented, the wine was allowed to age elegantly on full lees for 16 months in French oak, of which 30% were new. The middle palate fills the mouth with weight and texture, while finishing with persistence and definition.

Dried strawberries and plums, too. Medium body, firm and velvety tannins and a vibrant finish.
