A full frontal expression of Chardonnay. Creamy tropical fruit and roasted almonds with the acid and rain-drenched slate to back it up. Fleshy and joyous.

Truly odd Chardonnay. Lots of apples in nose and palette, tastes very much like cider. Oak is misplaced in palette- coming too late and leaving too fast. Short finish, different attributes don't mesh together to create coherent experience. Feels like I tasted completely different wine from other tasters!
