Distinctive for the
lemon drop flavor and hints of lime and kiwifruit, this makes for an unusually
compelling Chardonnay that's long and clean, and keeps revealing different

Pale
platinum-straw color. The 2016 Chardonnay shows aromas of ripe pears, roasted
almonds, buttered toast, honey, lychee, jasmine blossoms, freshly washed river
gravel, and lemon zest. On the palate, the wine unfolds flavors of baked apple
with vanilla drizzle, pineapple-mango cream, buttered toast, salty popcorn and
lemon curd with notes of nectarine and cantaloupe. Medium bodied with a rich,
generously textured and unctuous mouthfeel. Bright, mouthwatering acidity. A
long, lingering finish. Winemaker
