Last ‘18!!! Pale lemon gold with aromas of stone and tropical fruits with citrus and sweet floral, aged 75% French oak & 25% stainless. On the palate flavors of ripe melon, pineapple, apricot and notes of honeysuckle with hints of lemon zest and biscuit notes, delicate, complex and well balanced, big and full Chardonnay. Long finish, savory, ending with mineral tones and nutty toasty character. Will age well. Outstanding!

Lemon-lime citrus notes with solid acidity. Good, but not the best Red Shoulder Ranch .

I probably haven’t earned it but this bottle of wine cost me (just) less than a nice night out and under the circumstances this option has delivered. Oak spices are just so perfectly integrated with racy, fresh cool-weather fruit and an eager, dynamic acid profile that you want more and more. Juicy pear, lemon/lime, spiced creme brûlée. Very glad I’m not sharing. 0% malolactic.
