Dog Point Chardonnay Marlborough 2012

Dog Point Vineyard Chardonnay 2012 is a refined Marlborough Chardonnay offering pineapple, green mango, white peach, grapefruit, toasted hazelnut, cashew, and cedar. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with chalky texture, refreshing acidity, concentrated fruit, subtle oak, and a long finish.

Food Pairing: Roast chicken, grilled salmon, lobster, creamy seafood, roasted pork, mushroom risotto, scallops, and rich poultry dishes.

Like Dog Point's 2011 Chardonnay, this wine is dominated by citrusy elements. Hints of toasted almond and some riper notes of pear provide a certain amount of breadth on the palate, but citrus and quince dominate, lingering on the crisp finish. Drink now–2017.
