Wine Review: This straw-colored Chardonnay opens with an oak influenced pineapple and vanilla bean bouquet with hints of lemon and honeydew melon. On the palate, this wine is full bodied and nicely balanced between its pleasant acidity and juicy fruits. The flavor profile is a tasty pear and oak blend with notes of roasted almond and baking spices. I also detected some hints of butterscotch and golden delicious apple showing up at the end. The finish is dry and its flavors fade away nicely. This Chardonnay would pair well with Lucia's butternut squash ravioli with a fresh sage and creamy parmesan cheese sauce. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: This highly textured wine displays aromas of yellow apple, honeysuckle and tangerine skin. Fresh flavors of Granny Smith apple and Meyer lemon are intertwined with layers of spice and crystallized ginger. A rich and weighty mid-palate is followed by a very long exotic, mineral-infused finish.
