15' Signorello Hope's Cuvée Chardonnay. Can't help but reference the Texture Chardonnay I've enjoyed several times in the last few months. This has a touch more oak/vanilla (50% new oak)
All the tropical fruits that you can imagine. Throw in a little honeysuckle and lemon zest. Layers of complexity. Beautiful bottle of wine. Highly recommend. This would taste even better in 6 months. RP 98pts.

Beautifully well balanced. Oak should integrate a little better in a year.

Meursault like. Restrained nose, explosive acidity and lemon lime fruit with endless minerality. Damn, son. A gorgeous wine.

Well balanced oak. Smoothed out, not intense.

Signorello Estate ‘Hope’s Cuvée’ Chardonnay 2014: Full-bodied. Full flavors. Rich balance with a creamy mouthfeel. Notes of apple, pear, citrus, honey, butter & oak. A beautiful & long flavorful finish. Paired perfectly with Cashew Crusted Mahi Mahi and an unforgettable Maui sunset! Great weekend to all! Cheers🍷
