TASTING NOTES

What is Chardonnay supposed to be? All butter and oak? Or lean, clean and mean? Neither one, clearly. And that is what this wine is all about – finding an elusive balance that is both crisp and full-bodied. Clean and precise with wonderful acidity, yet rich with a depth that asks to be taken seriously.

A pale yellow color and inviting aromas of golden delicious apple, honeydew melon, lemon zest, white peaches and subtle suggestions of minerals and sweet dill get the show started. The palate then takes the stage and finishes the performance with meyer lemon, honeydew, lime, grapefruit, a hint of spicy vanilla custard, and subtle underlying oak and minerality that round out a pure and lingering finish. While inviting and invigorating now, another year in the cellar will offer rewards to those with the patience.
