Buttery, toasty chardonnay sourced from Durell Vineyard in Sonoma coast, with supple soft acidity - paired with a fried pig belly butter biscuit, with an asian poppy seed slaw. Wow.

This one was funky. Too much lees action. Durrell is so over rated....

V14. Amazing well made wine. 6 year old vintage drinking very well. Toasty nose with hints of ripe fruit. Tropical fruit, slight pear and apricot hints. Creamy, oaky finish with just enough acid. Well balanced, well made.
