This Chardonnay opens with vibrant aromas of fresh white peach, honeysuckle, and nutmeg. On the palate, the wine is broad and generous, but with focus and precision. Flavors of lemon curd, candied ginger, and Bartlett pear lead the way through a pure and mineral-rich midpalate. The mouthfeel is rich and creamy, with slight toasty oak notes leading to a mouthwatering finish in this racy, exceptional Chardonnay.
