Top Notes For
Paul T HB

Wow,
White Burgundy on the wrong continent.
K&L notes as follows,

The fruits in this bottling was sourced from a certified organic vineyard (Jos. Belli Vineyards) planted and owned by Joe Belli, Richard Arrowood's (winemaker) close friend and longtime business partner. Aged for 11 months in new French Oak, this Chardonnay showcases pretty aromas and flavors of ripe apricots, ripe yellow pear, pineapple, lemon curd, chamomile, chalk, hint of pie crust, vanilla, and a touch of macadamia-like nutty character. Crisp, refreshing, and full of personality!
