Still lively and large, this golden chardonnay has green apple, pineapple, and butterscotch in waves. Finishes long but with a bit of tart lemon pith as a last lingering note.

I never tried this in its youth, but I found this to be drinking very nicely. Good balance of fruit and acidity, with a nice marriage of tropical and mineral flavors. A bit more oak than I prefer, but it's pretty well integrated, maybe showing a slight bitter note. Lots going on with this and I found it to be an interesting and enjoyable Chard. Improved and flavors enhanced as it warmed close to room temp.

Gold in colour. Notes of bruised apple. Nice acidity. Great chardonnay

Excellent fuller bodied chard - age helped trim off some of the big body. Long rich finish.
