Resonance Hyland Vineyard Chardonnay, McMinnville, Oregon, US

White fleshed fruit and light hazelnuts aromas pop at first followed by subtle flavors of white pepper, fruit and wood. The finish is long and elegant.
 
Hyland Vineyard has some of Oregon's oldest vines, though it is not known if any of the original plantings are part of this wine. It's tight and almost steely, with compact green herb, apple and earth flavors. A thin vein of iron ore can be detected, and the overall balance and style suggest that it could be aged another half decade or longer.
