Somm Note
Winemaker Notes
A vibrant gold color, this wine is alive with bright acidity, aromas of ripe, sweet pear, pineapple, popcorn, golden delicious apple, toffee, and vanilla bean. The smooth, bright entry offers the prelude to a fresh and delicate wine with lots of personality, weight and volume. The acidity is well framed by the flavor and texture of the wine. Naturally sweet flavors and aromatics are accented by complex barrel note, leading to a lengthy, sophisticated finish.
Professional Ratings
-
Wine Spectator
Well-structured, with fresh-cut apple, pear and honeydew melon flavors that are broad and generously spiced. Hints of lavender show on the creamy finish. Drink now through 2022.
-
James Suckling
An attractive chardonnay, which shows vanilla and bread dough as well as cloves, cooked apples and Williams pears. Medium to full body, crunchy acidity and a bright yet textured finish. Drink now.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2016 Chardonnay has a nose of apple, peach and green guava with touches of lightly browned toast and yeast extract. Medium-bodied and refreshing with allspice notions coming through, it has a slight oiliness to the texture and good length.
-
Wine Enthusiast
Pretty in jasmine on the nose, this wine offers juicy stone fruit within a rounded, likable framework of balanced richness and lingering acidity.
