Bright lemon-yellow. Quite woody-resinous off the top, a bit "old school" and oaky. The palate is round and creamy,...
This big, almost gruff chardonnay pours almost luminous yellow. There is flinty/smoky reductive character here along...
A rich and generous "chardo", with canned pear smells, and a very modern New World look. May 2017

Ripe tropical fruit salad aromas from the cork are quite pretty. In the glass, it has ripe buttery, apple, pear, and lemon curd aromas with touches of caramel and vanilla of medium+ intensity. The dry palate is medium-full bodied and somewhat creamy with white flowers, lemon, and apple flavours. Notable wood is subtle and nicely integrated. Acids are clean and the finish length is very good with notes of tropical fruit and lemon curd. Easy drinking and widely appealing. Tasted Sept/2017.
