Hook and Ladder was started by Cecil De Loach in 2004 after he sold De Loach vineyards. Pale straw with aromas of stone and tropical fruits with honey and citrus notes. On the palate apple, sweet melon and lemon flavors with gentle vanilla toasty oak. Well balanced on lingering finish ending with a creamy character.

Probably a decent well balanced Chardonnay for most people , but a bit heavy and tiring for me.
