WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Upon pouring there are aromas of fresh cantaloupe, Jasmin blossom and pear, all underscored by subtle oak tones. Notes of brioche, crème brulee and peach. On the palate, the character of the wine leans in the Californian direction, with cut melon, a touch of pineapple, Asian pear and fresh-cut hay. All tied together with balanced, structured acidity and enough oak to add complexity without overwhelming the fruit.
TASTING NOTES:
Ripe nose, full of spiced lemon, pineapple and a savory, leesy undertone. Bright and full-bodied for a chardonnay, showing some elegant citrus flavors in the mid-palate, with fine lees and a subtle, grippy finish.
- James Suckling, 92 pts.
