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 facets. Drink now through 2023. 90pts WS

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
