Beautifully balanced and restrained; new world citrus and orchard fruit with an old world sensibility

2018. Nice restraint with the oak, apple, citrus, hint of oak spice, nice acid.

Pale lemon with stone and tropical fruit aromas and floral notes. On the palate flavors of apple, pear and lemon citrus with a light floral spice tone. Lively acidity, medium finish ending with fruit, citrus and spice.

Stunning conflation of new world and old world. Racy acidity, generous fruit with honeyed pear and apricot, grapey mid palate, lasting finish.

Second time tasting this vintage in the past few months and it's still delicious. This should be California chardonnay.

Great value. Polished and flavorful with citrus notes and a hint of toasty oak. Cool climate Chardonnay at its best for this price range.
