Notes | |||
"The nose is replete with aromas of fresh pear, toast, lemon oil, honeysuckle, damp slate, caramel, allspice, orange blossom and apple. Soft and round on the entrance, the wine boasts fruit flavors of juicy Asian pear, honeydew, lemon zest and apple complemented by toast, spice and baked bread. Acidity left over from partial malolactic fermentation provides freshness and crisp minerality on the mid-palate. Light oak aging provides structure and spice while the acidity carries over for a long and satisfying finish." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"Bright, fresh peach and melon aromas abound in this youthful and fruit-forward style of chardonnay. The palate has a very fresh and vivacious feel with lemon, grapefruit and pear flavors. Drink now." —James Suckling "With its scents of pear and lees shadings from (mostly) neutral oak barrels for aging, this reads like a chardonnay from a pinot gris master—which it is. The flavors are fulsome and satisfying, ripe pear and pie crust, a hint of hazelnuts to lend complexity. And a steal for the price. Best Buy." —Wine & Spirits |
