Top Notes For

9.5

This wine is easily as rich as it's price tag. Looking as dark as apple juice, there's a smell of oak to this Chardonnay, but more than that is a buttery, creamy nose of apricot and Meyer lemon. The palate is just gorgeous - similar fruit and rich notes, but with a racy acidity that surprises, considering the full mouthfeel. Is it worth $70? That's up to you and your bank but it's a damn good wine, that's for sure.
