Yellowish in color with a golden tint.

Fruity nose with citrus, oak, vanilla, spices, peaches, red apples and white pepper.

Full bodied with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with lemons, over ripen citrus fruits, apples, pears, spices, oak, vanilla, ginger, earth, toast and light vegetables.

Long finish with tangy limes and almonds.

This 4 year old Chardonnay is drinking very nicely now. Showing very nice complexity with a great mouthfeel. Not too oaky and nicely balanced.

Easy drinking and a good food wine too. A wine you want to share with friends and talk about.

Has high alcohol, but it is very nicely integrated at this point.

Wine Enthusiasts 90 points.

Much better when not very cold, and that's when the complexity shows. Would continue to age nicely in the next 5 years.

I paired it with 3 different cheeses, but was perfect with the double cream Brie cheese.

This Single Vineyard is barrel fermented and aged for 16 months in French Oak barrels.

A Good quality wine. Delicious, rich and opulent.
