Pours blonde in color. ON THE NOSE: pear, melon, toasted marshmallow. ON THE PALATE: Pear, toffee, melon, Apple with a tropical fruit acidity late in the flavor profile. This is one complex Chardonnay! Lots of layers that just keep going. Medium body long finish.

Big, rich aromas of oak and butter laced with notes of crisp pear. Oaky and rich on the palate. Slightly sharp acidity with hints of white peach and crisp pear. Short, easy finish.

Smooth and creamy w hints of vanilla and pound cake, but with an acidity that keeps it very pleasant and drinkable.
