Description
This is a “Cab lover’s” Chardonnay. It’s bold, full-bodied, flavorful, and always elicits a response. It is fruit-driven, but the rich and creamy mouthfeel is unmistakably influenced by the long barrel-aging regime.
- 100% Estate grown Chardonnay
- 100% Malolactic fermentation
- 100% Barrel fermented in 80% new French Oak barrels.
- Aged 15 months sur-lie.

Highly recommended
Bright yellow straw color. Fruity, toasty aromas of lemon taste, dried oranges, bittersharp apples, cream soda, and bread crusts with a bright, fruity medium body and a smooth, medium=length roasted almonds and salted caramel finish with coating tannins and light oak. A toasty chardonnay that will be a real charmer at the table.

A first impression of bright apple gives way to kiwi and tropical fruit notes as this fresh and creamy wine opens up. Still a “toddler,” Burgundian in mouthfeel, and gradually transforming into a more viscous style of Chardonnay. The finish is long and satisfying. Wine Lines rating: 90
