WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
This wine is a treat for the senses. An alluring bouquet of spiced pear, dried apricot, toasted marshmallow, and caramel popcorn give a grand introduction to the intricate palate. Rich, yet delicate layers of apricot, lemon chiffon, and vanilla buttercream are lifted by perfectly balanced acidity, making every sip as enjoyable as the first.
TASTING NOTES:
Sliced ripe apples with some nuts, flint and lightly charred wood. Full bodied with lovely texture and tension. A rather steely finish with firmness and seriousness. Drink or hold.

This opulent and richly textured Chardonnay shows a ton of spiced pear, citrus and caramel aromas on the nose. The palate displays lots of texture from the barrel program alongside sweet apple fruit and marzipan candy flavors. There's a lot of pleasure here for the right Chard lovers.
