This was a great surprise! Deep rich nose and flavor of dried stone fruit with a hint of caramel. Wonderful silky mouth feel. Glassware was Riedel Performance Chardonnay for oaked chards.

Clear straw colored with a bit of bite (for a white chard) upon opening the bottle. Initially, the strongest tastes were of Oak and lemongrass with a mineral aftertaste. Letting it breath a few minutes in the glass resulted in a smoother taste, more melon and nutmeg (?) flavors and a pleasant aftertaste. This wine, however, was excellent with seared rare Ahi with a white butter sauce and pickled white ginger.

Aromas of toast and butter with a little green apple. More green apple and a little tropical fruit on he full bodied palate. Finishes with strong acidity.
