Antica Terra Aurata Chardonnay Willamette Valley 2018

94 points Vinous

"Pale gold. Citrus pith, orchard fruits, saffron and smoky minerals on the assertively perfumed nose; hints of chamomile and sweet butter emerge with air. Juicy and incisive on the palate, offering fresh, mineral-laced pear and Meyer lemon flavors that tighten up slowly on the back half. Finishes on a strong mineral note, featuring outstanding persistence and lingering suggestions of honeysuckle and bitter pear skin."
