2019 Bee Block Special Selection Chardonnay
95 pts, Prince of Pinot
92 pts, Wine Advocate
92 pts, Wine Enthusiast
A special 4 barrel blend from Bee Block, this wine showcases the influence of subtle French oak and is an homage to our past. The same ripe citrus of Bee Block is framed with 25% new Francois Frères oak. Toasty notes of cedar, smoke, and phenolic tension create a framework for the citrus fruit of the block. Less of the tropical notes show but instead a warm, full-body fill out the palate. See where your palate lands with these two versions from the same block.
“Toasted nuts, golden honey and baked peach aromas manage to be both prevalent and elegant on the nose of this block selection. The palate is taut in texture and loaded with acidity and salinity, as flavors of buttered nuts and peach slide toward the finish.” - Matt Kettmann, Wine Enthusiast
