Wine Review: This bright yellow colored Chardonnay is very nice. It opens a mild lemon and apple bouquet with a hint of oak. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, balanced and juicy. The flavor profile is a tasty Bartlett pear and mild oak blend with notes of Granny Smith apple. I also detected hints of butter, pineapple and lime. The finish is dry and its flavors drift away nicely. This Chard while not overly complex id very yummy and will be a crowd pleaser. It is food friendly and would pair nicely with chicken cordon bleu. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: In 2015, the Estate exhibits buoyant fruit—white peach, green apple and lemon curd—with white flowers, custard and vanilla shading the background. The palate mirrors that exuberant profile within a rich, generous texture and walks a tightrope, balancing citrus pith and a thrilling stony note— a sly wink to the volcanic activity from 35 million years before. Decant for further aromatic and textural enjoyment.
