Solid richness, medium buttery, vibrant acidity, good fruit, dry Asian pear and fluttering tropicals, and just a hint of earthy funk. There's a lot going on here.

Straw in color with a soft floral nose. Buttery on the palate but not overly oaky. Asian pear, almond, honey, and light citrus layered over a mineral backbone. Medium acid in the finish. Not as bold as a California Chardonnay, but nicely balanced.

Needs a little time to breathe after opening, but is a medium body Chardonnay with hints of apple and honey

I am drinking the 2009. Very smooth and refreshing-not like a typical Chardonnay.
