McHenry Hohnen 2020 Rocky Road

Chardonnay (Margaret River)

This come-hither wine has an exciting lead-in of butter, nut and brioche aromas on the nose. Alas, the reserved palate offers a stark contrast. The wine’s core is light—almost meager—in fruit flavor and concentration, and the polarity is discombobulating. The flavors focus on tart citrus and white peach, delivering a brightness that serves to emphasize the wine’s pronounced acidity. The buttery, leesy notes resurface on the lengthy finish. Drink now–2024.
