Sonoma California
Enjoyabilityfactor 94 Rating
A fuller, yet bright and refreshing style of Chardonnay, this wine has a golden straw presence in the glass with a bouquet of raw honey, marmalade, fresh citrus zest, toasted pine nuts, rocky flints, all spice, toasted oak and lusciousness on the nose that is ever so inviting. Island ripe pineapple, apple, stone fruit, and crisp pear leave the mouthwatering in a cascade of pleasure.

Whole Cluster Press, via Gravity Flow to Neutral French Oak. 40% New French Oak for 14 months. R11-3
