Nose- Med intensity. Primary aromas of apricot, golden Apple, lemon pie, banana. Secondary flavors of buttery cream, vanilla and brioche. Tertiary flavors of dried apricot and almonds. Dry, high acidity, high alcohol. Quality assessment overall very good/outstanding.

Well balanced, smooth, fruity nose but little more oak and butter on the palate. One of the better Chardonnays.
