I normally don't get excited about a white wine but this was one of the highlights of our surf and turf dinner - a perfect accompaniment to lobster medallions and the salad.
The Darioush was butter colored, medium bodied, crisp and clean, initially slightly forward overtly acidic with tones of oak, but after an hour it settled down and was smooth, polished and balanced with pleasant layers of fruit - subtle pear, lychee, melon and slight hint of citrus and vanilla with just the right accent of soft smooth oak.

Taste of butter and caramel. Delicious! Poured night one with some hummus and pita .... Haven't decided what night 2 will be!

Nice light French style chardonnay. Holding up well for the age.

I'm truly impressed with the way this Chardonnay has grown up.
