A Chardonnay in the full bodied California barrel ferment style. This is a quite drinkable version on this style in that it is not to sweet nor too alcoholic. Very well acid balanced and not tannic, the toasty oak is in context and works with honey lemon character of the Carneros Chardonnay.

pnp. pale straw yello. medium aroma intensity of citrus peel, alcohol, salt/urine, lime, and tropical fruit. A bit on the sweeter side on the palette with butter, pineapple, citrus, petrol, and fresh vegetable component (asparagus?), wood. full bodied with fresh acidity.
went very well with my sausage, egg, and cheese croissant breakfast sandwich.

Outstanding bottle of wine. Enjoyed with an early Thanksgiving dinner - paired very nicely with the turkey.
