Their Reserve Chardonnay was aged for 11 months in 100% French oak, showing nice straw yellow with aromas of soft stone fruits and baking spice notes. The palate shows apples, pears and melon flavors with toasty oak and cinnamon spice. Crisp finish with creamy mineral notes, good acidity and balance, ending with citrus tones. Nice Value! ‘13 tasted better than my notes from a year ago, if you can find a bottle grab it.

Opening their Reserve Chardonnay, that was aged for 11 months in 100% French oak, the color was a bright straw yellow with aromas of stone fruits and baking spice notes. The palate shows tart apples, pears and melon flavors with subtle toasty oak and cinnamon. The finish was crisp with mineral notes, lively acidity, good balance, ending with citrus tones. Nice Value!

Silky, lots of minerals to offset some stone and tropical fruit. Infinitely swillable.
