Stainless steel fermentation followed by sur lie yields a very nice chardonnay.

A little fruity for a Chardonnay. Apricot. Pricey at $28. Ridiculous at 14.8%.

Very intense and laser focused. There's a honeyed note that provides the backbone to delicious orchard fruits. So good the first time I went back and bought more!

Decent nose. Unbalanced for me. Too much bitterness from grapefruit that is a bit overpowering. Maybe it can pair with something? Not complex. One note is all I get.
