A chartreuse-tinged yellow color introduces yeasty, creamy aromas that mingle with orange blossom, nectarines and apricots. Flavors of dried apricot, baked pear, and Meyer lemon curd mingle with roasted nuts and coalesce with a persistent, mineral streaked finish. So fun to drink now, but expect this wine to drastically improve with another 6 to 12 months of cellaring. This wine should provide 5-8 years of extraordinary drinking experiences.
A hazy, golden-green color introduces this special California Chardonnay. Barrel fermented in 100% French oak, bottled un-fined and un-filtered, this wine exudes intense fruit and impeccable balance. Aromas of orange blooms and lemon-curd intermingled with marzipan, and wet stones. Flavors of Mirabelle plums, Valencia orange zest, and Gravenstein apple are heightened by a hint of anise and salty, minerality. The crisp, persistent finish, carries through to the next sip. Drink now or over the next 5 years.
