This was a bright oaky yet balanced Chardonnay in the California style. The notes of hard candied lemon, muskmelon, apple, cream, wildflower honey, allspice, fresh split oak, pie crust, elderflower, and muddy claylike minerality. That is well rounded and warming This wine packs a long well built finish making it a very nice complex fireplace companion. drinks beautifully now thru - 2023.

Nice deep gold colour. Medium intense citrusy nose with a good dose of well integrated oak. Had half the bottle in decanter overnight and flavour improved significantly. On the palate medium acidic and full bodied. A lush feeling.
Good quality, like the quality for the money paid.

New World in style, big bodied yet not overtly so. Tropical fruit, Meyer lemons, and vanilla wafer notes are framed by obvious malo action. Juicy, creamy, and long, with flavors and textures that gain attractive traction after every sip. Ginger spice adds a lovely complexity on the finish. Keeps getting better the longer it sits.
