What a beautiful Chardonnay… Have been sticking a lot to Australian/New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs and White Bordeaux lately - going back for a case of this though - this particular vintage is something else. Lemon meringue pie on the nose with hibiscus. Sweet upfront with a tremendous touch of vanilla, white peach, and followed with a slight green apple to balance, the backend is almond tart and the slightest bit of oak. No alcohol presence until it’s needed to help offer some balance. Just wonderful.

The wine looks amber colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like mango, pineapple, passion fruit, banana, lemon, vanilla, chrysanthemum, apple blossom and apple. It tastes like lemon, orange, apple, pineapple, banana, passion fruit, mango, vanilla, oak, phenolic and honeysuckle. The body is full. The wine has polished texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has high acidity.

Great bottle of chard! Wow, oak and toast on the nose with vanilla notes. Solid core of almond, walnuts and pear/Apple. Long finish with minerality and depth. Would recommend and will buy more.
