Pale lemon with stone fruit aromas & spicy floral tones. On the palate apple and peach flavors, with blossom and cinnamon spice, lively acidity supporting the oak aging. Medium+ finish ending with vivid acidity and mineral tones. Very nice. Tasted twice.

Fantastic #sonomachardonnay #chardonnay #sonomaloeb intense primary guava, lychees and lemon custard with subtle fresh baked pie crust mlf and lees sensations and hints of clove from barrel ferment. Refreshing acidity and tartness like green apples and meyer lemons that's balanced with a delicate sweetness on the palate. Very well balanced and expressive.
