Spectaculair Chardonnay. PnP so at first a lot of oak. But when that is gone pure chardonnay even a bit chalky remains….

This is consistently a good wine. Butter cream, honey, white flowers and layers of citrus. Drinking well now with minimal air.

This one had a little more age on it and was drinking great.
Paul Lato was in town and I had the chance to spend some time with him and taste through several of his new releases. His wines are great across the board.

Excellent with stir fry dinner! Lemon and floral notes with balanced, yet focused, acidity and crushed stone to mellow it out.
