RichWine Spectator 89 pts - James LaubeDeceptively complex, tight and vibrant, with a slow rise of citrus-laced mineral, green pear and honeydew melon notes that build on the finish, where a touch of nutmeg adds dimension. Drink now through 2014. 300,000 cases made.
Wine Enthusiast 84 pts - Steve HeimoffFor this everyday price you get a Chardonnay that frankly is as good as Chards costing a few bucks more. It's a simple charmer, with pineapple jam, vanilla and oak flavors.
Description:Aromas of fruit and spice mingle and tantalize the senses as you first encounter this Chardonnay. Green apples and juicy pears give way to elegant hints of Meyer lemons, but circle back to finish ripe and refreshing on the palate. Created by aging on the lees, the rich and velvety mouthfeel takes the fruit to another level, allowing the flavors to sink softly into spicy vanilla notes of American oak. The finish, graceful as a lemon meringue, perfectly balances the wine's creaminess and acidity.
