Wine Review: This white gold colored Chardonnay opens with a great nose featuring lemon and oak with a hint of honeydew melon. On the palate, this wine is full bodied and slightly acidic. It also round, well-balanced, and lush. The flavor profile is a lemon and green tea blend with notes of subtle minerality, and oak. We also detected hints of pineapple and coconut. The finish is dry, and its flavors fade away nicely. This excellent Chard was enjoyed by everyone who tried it. It would pair well with a chicken ravioli with wild mushrooms with a light cream sauce. Enjoy- Ken

Winemaker Notes: On the nose hints of lemon curd, fresh nectarine, and nutmeg followed by flavors of Meyer Lemon, white peach, and hints of crème brûlée on the palate. Overall, the 2017 vintage has great concentration and an elegant finish.
