Impromptu meet up at Classic! Having a relaxing Friday afternoon with good friends and good wine makes for a perfect start to a weekend!

First time with this producer. Golden colored. Honeyed mango and melon on the nose, touch of funk. Acidity is still rocking. A toasted macadamia nut note on the palate with grilled ripe pineapple. Drink up.

Bit of reduction that blows off to reveal more floral notes. Bit if heat on the finish...

Go to silly and great flavor. I know it’s fashionable now to leave OK out of Chardonnay but it was a refreshing touch to have somebody who finally put a little bit of vanilla back in there with their oak. Nothing wrong with it because they did it perfectly. Toasted vanilla with good acid and flavors of both straw and stone fruit. Great wine
