  An incredibly layered and multidimensional aroma defines this wine from the very beginning. Perfectly ripe, sliced apples, pears, and peaches drizzled with caramel sauce on top of a bed of airy whipped cream all seem to materialize on top of a firm base note of cold stone.
  
  The palate is remarkably smooth, plush, and soft feeling, showing a distinct creamy richness that artfully presents all the complex flavors of the fruit, rather than covering them up. The flavor profile is a constantly evolving journey for the senses, moving between almost luminously ripe fruit tones of apple and peach to subtle notes of cream and honey, all the while showing a distinct mineral undertone. This is a gorgeous wine, truly a tapestry of beautifully interwoven flavors and textures, and a stunning example of the subtly and harmoniousness possible in artfully crafted Chardonnay. Offering a deliciously hedonistic drinking experience this wine is an absolute steal at the price.
