Wine Review: This dark yellow colored Chardonnay opens with a fragrant and appealing pear and oak bouquet. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, slightly acidic and juicy. The flavor profile is a pear and green apple blend with notes of minerality and oak. I also detected hints of lemon curd as well. The finish is dry and it drifts along nicely. This Chard will pair very nicely with lobster mac n’ cheese. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Kali Hart is our most fruit-forward expression of Sleepy Hollow Vineyard. In the winery, we let the grapes guide the way with minimal influence, resulting in a luscious, bright wine. Aromas of vanilla and brioche in the aroma lead to notes of mandarin, pineapple and melon contribute to an unctuous, inviting palate. Following the dense tropical fruit flavors, there is a soft, wonderfully clean finish with a touch of minerality and hard spice notes.
