Aug 4th, 2014Only 400 cases produced this wine is grown by Joseph belli close friend of the arrowoods . Beautiful vanilla creme brûlée with Asian pear, white peach, cinnamon spice and pretty floral notes smooth and creamy on the tongue with seemless oak integration and wonderful freshness most excellent from one if the old school masters of California Chardonnay.

Apr 23rd, 2013Wow,
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!
