title: Henschke 2000 Cranes Chardonnay (Eden Valley)
description: There's a distinct hardness to this wine, so that the fruit comes across more as a tough-skinned yellow-plum than as a soft, ripe peach. It's a little stingy on the midpalate, but there are plenty of other things to make up for it. Melon and pineapple flavors add layers of interest, as does the toasty, nutty finish.
variety: Chardonnay
designation: Cranes
