Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Deep Ruby color with aromas of red fruits, forest floor and spice, spent 14 months in 28% new French oak. On the palate flavors of cherry and ripe raspberry with cedar notes, cinnamon spice and earthy herbs. Full-bodied, fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, oak and an earthy character. Nice!

Beautiful Chardonnay. Great nose. Rich full body with a very clean finish with that mouth watering feeling that leaves you wanting another sip.

I'm almost always impressed by this site and there's no disappointment this time. Pretty nose, Meyer lemon and green apple palate with a malic feel to the acidity. There is a viscosity to the mouthfeel without heaviness.

Beautifully austere. Firm acidity. Clean and bright Chardonnay - very representitive of the grape and the site.

Medium golden core with slightly watery rim. Aromas of pear, bruised Golden Delicious apple, white flowers, and lees with hints of buttered popcorn and only modest new oak. Medium bodied on the palate with good acidity offering flavors of Golden Delicious apple and lemon curd leading to a slow, slightly mineral finish of medium length. Made from estate fruit which was barrel fermented then aged 17 months in 35% new French oak. 13.3% ABV.
