Nose: Lemon, butterscotch, anise, earthy rock, white flower. Taste: lemon, rock, butterscotch. Nice acidity, a little hot. Could use more time to open in glass. Good overall.

Creamy mouthfeel. Buttery (big time), oaky, with a lot of Meyer lemon, pear, honeysuckle and a bit of apricot.

If you like unoaked Chardonnay this is not for you. But if you do like oaked chard, this is a great example. Smooth and buttery.
