Pale lemon color with aromas of ripe fruits, citrus, nutty and flinty scents, aged in oak for 12 months. On the palate flavors of apple, peach and orange floral citrus, cinnamon notes, well balanced with acidity. Medium+ finish ending with nutty toasty spice, mineral and citrus notes.

A good Chardonnay with a candied lemon rind finish with descent length. This vintage Janet was still assistant wine maker.
