This full-throttle California Chardonnay launches forth with a glorious bouquet of Springtime fragrances including gardenias and honeysuckle. Deliciously smooth notes of honeysuckle, poached pear, and flakey pastry delight on the palate. Secondary flavors include citrus oil and a subtle influence of new oak and tropical fruit (primarily pineapple) that soar from the glass of this joyful new release that is harmonious and built for pure enjoyment now through 2020. EDITOR NOTE: I recently enjoyed a 2010 vintage bottling of this blend. It was magnificent with ultra-ripe tropical fruit flavors still vibrant and Distinguished notes of macadamia nut and honeysuckle on the delectable finish.
