Novelty Hill Chardonnay Columbia Valley USA 2019 Crab and Lobster tar and menthol accentsThough the fruit sourcing is the same, this is the first vintage of this wine to bear the Royal Slope label. With winemaker Mike Januik, a Chardonnay savant, the aromas are completely enchanting with notes of spice, yellow apple and Bosc pear. The palate shows a lot of sophistication and reserve. Toasty notes linger on the finish. It's chock full of class.
