Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Pale lemon, aromas of stone and tropical fruits, with floral and oaky spice notes. On the palate pineapple, peach & apricot with lemon citrus zest and toasty vanilla oak notes. Smooth long finish, well balanced, nice acidity, ending with fruit, oak and mineral character.

Rich hold in Color. Butterscotch golden apple on the nose. Medium acidity. Full body. Palate of butterscotch (not over the top) and yellow apple. A skosh more acidity would make this a great food wine… especially with lobster. As it is, it's a good enough effort, but hard to say what to do with. Too rich for a sipper. Not quite fresh enough for most foods. I'm going with Burgundy at dinner time.

Great Chardonnay. 3 dimensional for a value wine price. Balanced oak, creaminess, and acidity!
