Loaded with aromas and flavors of cherry, strawberry and cranberry. Hints of violets, cola and dark chocolate. Quite savory with more body than typical Pinots. Satiny tannins. Nice wine. Revisited in July 2024. Above notes apply. Tannins even silkier.

A little too fruit forward for me, little to no dryness on the finish. Could of used more or some barrel time.

Can’t ask for a better Chardonnay at this price range. Rich efflorescence with notes of oak and clove and a beautiful almost gold color. Refreshing and a breath taker.
