Fantastic Chardonnay. Pineapple and pear on the nose. Medium body. Touch of oak but not overly oaked. Long creamy finish.

Peach and apricot cobbler on the nose with fig, apricot and peach on the palate and with citrus in the finish. A little more acid in the finish and this would have been perfect. One of the best chards I've had in a while.
