Medium lemon with aromas of ripe stone fruits, citrus, floral and nutty tones. On the palate flavors ripe apple, apricot and pear with honeysuckle, toasted almond and sweet spice. Nice balance with acidity, long finish ending with fruit, floral spice and slight yeasty character. Very Nice! Tasting Sample. Tried twice!

Ageing beautifully. Soft and pure with big flavor and balanced oak and acid. Lovely.

Almost crisp 2011 Chardonnay from Russian River Valley honeyed peachy fruit - big in alcohol @ 14.1% more delicate than its Napa cousins.

Had the pleasure of hosting Merry Edwards at Etch today and all of her wines are stunning. Love the malo and the oak. Very rich with amazing texture...damn good Chardonnay

2011. Clean and refreshing, but a bit basic.
