Millbrook Chardonnay Two Block West 2010

There is no denying that Millbrook is the current crown jewel of Hudson Valley wine. A steady stream of quality wines has flowed from there almost since they opened their doors. Current winemaker John Graziano is one of the nicest and most experienced winemakers in the valley, and his wines can stand up among any number of wines from around the world. Following in the footsteps of their Castle Hill Chardonnay (which was replanted after the 2007 vintage) Millbrook introduced this Chardonnay designation with their 2008 vintage. Like it predecessor, the wine was light and delicate. Elegant, with notes of butterscotch and honeysuckle. Pears and apples combined with lots of mineral textures to create an excellent experience. Aged for 10-11 months in oak, the wine exuded vanilla, caramel, and a hint of spices. A smooth, long lasting finish. An exceptional wine!!! Fantastic! Another incredible wine from Millbrook!
