January 5, 2013 - Odds & Ends; 12/8/2012-1/6/2013: Rich and creamy nose, showing gobs of fresh white peach, a dish of lemon-lime, and some orange blossom. The palate starts off with high acid, but then this creamy pear fruit comes in and adds richness. 25% of the wine sees new French oak, which adds delicious hazelnut and shredded coconut accents. The underlying fruit and structure allows the oak to take a back seat, and the overall wine is very balanced. I would proudly serve this at a blind tasting, just to see what other people think of it. Undenyiably good fruit, and solid winemaking make this an impressive chardonnay.
