A nice Chardonnay that kind of went right down the middle. It wasn’t a blockbuster but it didn’t show terribly. Just a solid Chardonnay that is probably best enjoyed sooner rather than later. I’m assuming a decent amount of malo is used here...honeyed flowers, cashews, hint of lemon.

This wine has aged wonderfully! Deeply nuanced with many layers. Nice balance between fruit, acid, tannins, body and structure.
