Beautiful wine. Very clean flavor profile of pear, pineapple and interestingly enough, butterscotch. Butterscotch in flavor more than actual texture. Just want to clear that up so you don't think this is a sweet, heavy and viscous chardonnay. What stands out about this wine is the nice mid-weight feel on your palate - a sort of pleasant presence. Also, very nice and long finish and aftertaste.

This wine was a real upside surprise. Didn’t expect that much but got a beautiful, quasi-Burgundian experience.
Golden, bright, and slightly viscous on appearance.
On nose, grapefruit, lychee, melon. Just lovely. Not overpowering.
On palate, wine has a great acidic backbone with a bit of that smokiness you get from good Burg. Grapefruit predominant. Melon, citrus, with a touch of a resinous element, presumably from age.
Punches above its weight. Delicious. Glad I opened it after a disappointing wine experience last night.

Fully mature, golden color, utterly delicious. Better than the Chuy ‘15. Drink up. This won’t get any better.
