TOR
2018 CHARDONNAY
CARNEROS, NAPA VALLEY
If you enjoy some of California's upper echelon Chardonnays, and you want to find one at an obtainable price, then you'll want to read further into TOR's new Carneros Chardonnay. When you take note of the origins of the grapes, and then consider that they're paired with the immeasurable talents of winemaker Jeff Ames, you might just decide to skip right down to the order button...
Tor's 2018 Chardonnay is a barrel selection from Steve Beresini's heritage vines, Larry Hyde's world-renowned Carneros fruit, and the iconic Durell Vineyard in Sonoma, and any one of these three sites could be considered one of California's Grand Cru Vineyards. All three sites were hand-harvested separately, and at their individual optimum ripeness before being pressed directly into small French oak barrels, where winemaker Jeff Ames was then able to identify and capture the best qualities from each vineyard, and harmonize them into something absolutely remarkable.

Winery Vineyard Notes:
"This wine is from three historic Chardonnay vineyards, the sum of this winemaker's selection is greater than its parts. Steve Beresini's thirty-year-old, dry-farmed heritage vines gives depth and texture, Hyde Vineyard's wind-cooled topography gives minerality and precision, Durell vineyard contributes richness and opulence. 470 cases made."

Winemaker's Tasting Notes:
"... the interplay of each vineyard has given us a beautifully svelte, balanced and harmonious wine. Elegant fruit flavors of ripe citrus, white flower and minerals are layered with brioche, nutmeg and fresh cream complexities. The palate is exciting, with a juxtaposition of dense concentration and svelte creamy texture, with balancing freshness, crispness and structural tension. "
Ed's Notes: "Previous Vintage of TOR Chardonnay scored 95 PARKER and 95 DUNNUCK, and this vintage is showing better. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a 97 possibly even closer to the
100-point range
from either Wine Advocate or Jebb Dunnuck (or both) on this dialed-in 2018 rendition of WOW! What a wine - here come the 2018s my friends, and they are showing Delicious right out of the gate! Difficult to describe how good this is, the
Crème de la Crème
, This Chardonnay is just
heavenly
