Firm and fancy. Nose of Meyer lemon, pineapple, vanilla, cream and coconut with a hint of diacetyl. Coats your mouth like a soft silky pillow. Electrifying acidity. Long lasting finish. Can i say more?

You can never go wrong with this one. Just a beautiful CA Chardonnay made in a less Oaky style.

The 2010 still has a little acidity! A few years in the bottle gave it some roundness. Great.
