Winemaker's Notes:

This cooler climate Chardonnay is pale in color, but rich in flavor. The nose finds melon, cashew nuts, creamy spice, and integrated yeast characters, with hints of grapefruit underscoring it. The palate is long and crisp with the rich flavors of melon and cashews.

Reviews:

“ 90 Points.
Light yellow. Smoky, leesy bouquet displays peach, pear and toasted hazelnut. Silky pit fruit flavors offer noteworthy concentration and very good palate coverage, along with slow-building smoked meat and apple qualities. Leaves a sappy orchard fruit note behind on the long, juicy finish. This is delicious. ” — Stephen Tanzer
