From the Hess Collection, their inaugural vintage shows aromas of stone fruits with light wafts of oak and spice. On the palate rich ripe apple and pear with a touch of tropical fruits, a bit creamy, with vanilla oak notes. Nice mouthfeel, vivid acidity, medium finish ending with spicy oak character.

The wine has an intriguing nose which shows apricot, Meyer lemon and tropical fruit. The palate shows why people like California Chardonnay. Tropical notes highlight the flavors, with a strong layer of minerals underneath. The 15 months of oak don't interfere as much as one might think, adding a noticeable - but not dominant - aspect to the profile. Racy acidity begs for a food pairing, and I'm thinking swordfish. The finish carries the fruit, not the oak.

This wine is absolutely outstanding. Full body with pronounced floral notes and not acidic . Rare combination. Can’t say enough good things about this bottle.

The label pretty much speaks for itself. A good dose of this will put a smile an on the obvious but everyone else too. Your textbook Cali Chard but in an more elegant manner. Stone fruit, vanilla, butter, oak, light spices with a creamy mouthfeel. Cheers!
