Alpha Omega Chardonnay Napa Valley 2012
Deliciously vibrant notes of honeysuckle, poached pear, and brioche are deftly balanced with alluring citrus oil and a creamy vanilla oak. Launching forth with hints of honeysuckle and buttered croissant, the palate features poached pear, white peach and tropical fruit (primarily pineapple) that waft from the glass of this powerful, broad, and silky smooth effort. This thrilling new release may be enjoyed now or anytime over the next 3 – 5 years, peaking around 2019 in our estimate.
