  The wine is a very light yellow to golden color. The very exotic and inviting nose has apples, flinty minerals, lemon curd, lime zest, Asian spices, hazelnuts, and a touch of toast. This has medium body and tart, citrusy acidity. Bright apples and citrus greet the palate with minerals, spice, hazelnuts pouring in over the top and from all sides. The finish is very long with the spicy, citrus driven, fruit and spice seeming to never totally fade away, leaving a nutty, lemony note. This is incredibly young at this time and will improve with some cellar time. One of the best California Chardonnay wines I've ever had. Stunning.

  Chardonnay Symposium- Santa Maria Valley. Melon & lees & oak-dominate. Medium weight with lower acid. Medium finish.
