When I do drink whites I've always been partial to Burgundies, Chablis and Riesling because I don't like the heavy fatness of American Chardonnay's. But this wine has the best of all worlds...the lushness of an American Chard while maintaining a delicate character. And it's very complex owing to a strong minerality. |

Incredibly balanced, smooth as silk, with lots of fruit and enough acidity to pair flawlessly with some grilled Copper River salmon. Think this will continue to improve for another 4-5 years but it is so delicious now that my remaining bottles may vanish before I can test this theory. |

The oak will become more prominent given time but as of right now it is young fruity, and fantastic. Absolutely delicious. |

10/2/2015 - tomlee wrote: 96 pointsShimmering gold in color. 14.2% ABV. Gorgeous nose of honey, lemon and hazlenuts. Rich and oily on the palate. Wonderful mouth feel. Flavors of lemon meringue, lime and honeysuckle. The finish is long and spicy. Absolutely stunning Chardonnay. Aging beautifully. Drink over the next 1-2 years. |
