Complex but lacking tension. Baked fruit and marzipan

Much better, there’s no comparison really.
Has aromas of fresh green apple, apricot and lime and a bit of minerality. In addition there is a creaminess of vanilla custard, and marzipan followed by fresh baguette. Flavors of orange, melon and lemon are present with some lime pith. The fruit is accentuated by warm spices, cinnamon and nutmeg. The texture is rich and tangy with an acidity that is long and balanced
varietal composition: 85% Chardonnay, 15% Pinot noir
barrel fermentation: 34%
alcohol: 12.5%
Suggested retail: $140
