  Blind Tasting - Chardonnays; 12/24/2012-12/29/2012: Bright gold colored. It’s clear from the nose that this is an elegant and ageworthy chardonnay. The aromas shift with air, showing white flowers, dried mango and pineapple, orange blossom. There’s a brightness to the aromas that is fantastic. The palate starts off with pineapple and papaya flavors and a dense mouthfeel. The acid comes through on the midpalate. The hazelnut and coconut element of this wine are really interesting. I can’t remember a wine that tasted more like coconut milk than this wine. And I really like it. Very complex and delicious, although I’m wagering this could age for a few more years and really improve, as it’s quite compact right now.

  Pale golden yellow color with beguiling apple, butter, floral along with hints of honey, oak and tropical aromas. On the palate it's med-bodied and impeccably balanced, with a creamy texture, very good acidity, with apple, tropical fruits and a bit of honey flavors. Med long finish. Great with Five Spice chicken and Asian style noodle salad. This is a fine food wine b/c it's not overly oaked.
