This is second vintage to come exclusively from the Martinelli Charles Ranch, two miles in from the Pacific, aged for 12 months in 25% new oak. Pale lemon with aromas of ripe stone fruits with wafts of blossom and spice. On the palate rich ripe apple and pear with a touch of zesty citrus fruits, crisp, with big vanilla notes. Nice mouthfeel, vivid acidity, medium+ finish ending with fruit, vanilla and citrus mineral character. Nice! Tried twice.

Double decant and pour. A wicked light gold color. On the nose: apple, lemon, honey blossom, mandarin, and subtle vanilla oak. Taste: A creamy, rich medium plus body wine with pineapple, apple, minerals, crushed rocks, and honey. A fresh medium plus finish. Going great with raw hamachi crudo on this Saturday night. Cheers!

Lemon curd. Honey suckle. Vanilla oak too. Taste of pear like to have a touch more acid. But finish has nice tangy

What a wonderful wine. Lemon and brioche nose. Lively with nice acid, sneaky richness and great finish. David sure knows how to make Chardonnay
