Very tasty and nicely crisp, but kind of candied, like a pastry with lemon cream, pineapple custard and vanilla spice, in a smoky, sugary crust. Almost a dessert wine in apparent sweetness.

Ripe tropical fruit and oak dominate this overly sweet Chardonnay. It’s very rich in pineapple tart, golden mango, buttered toast and crème brûlée flavors, but lacks dry balance. Tastes like there’s a lot of white sugar in there.

With too much oak and too sweet fruit, the result is an unbalanced Chardonnay. It tastes like LifeSaver lemon candies cooked into a baked Alaska dessert.
