2016 vint on 7/2/18. I cannot put my finger on exactly what makes this so different or why I like it more than other Chardonnays. It’s not too buttery but it’s smooth, not too sweet or sweet at all, but not overly dry, acidic. Just try it—it’s worth the trip. A nice find. Will get again. A sipper, good with cheeses, meats even spicy/bold. Hints os asparagus, cut grass melded with(yes) slightly leather aroma and finish.

Creamy vanilla with strong notes of apricot on the nose and palate. Add white peach and white grape. Finish is long with overt sweetness. Still has that aluminum/tin alkaline finish. good as summer wine

Paired well with Red Pepper Pasta. Fine on its own. Still speaking an amazing Viognier.
