Boasts classic barrel-fermented Chardonnay aromas of toasted hazelnuts and white peaches. Very pretty and very well made; it’s on the lighter, more elegant side. Finishes with a welcome touch of citrus.

Heavy oak treatment marries well with this wine's dark, roasted black-cherry flavors, turning into chocolate and espresso on the finish. Has the structure to last a few years in the cellar but can be drunk now.

Earthy but complex in the nose, the wine offers spicy, toasty notes mingled with ripe, fresh fruit flavors. Layered and pretty, the wine has a lingering vanilla and spice finish.

Intensely aromatic with notes of sweet, smoky vanilla, this dry, full-bodied Chardonnay is pleasantly oaked with just a hint of green wood in the backdrop. It’s refreshing to sip with a nice, mouth-quenching finish.

This winery has produced better wines, as this one is tart in acidity and light- to medium-bodied. Flavors are in the unripe spectrum, going from green bean to candied berry to rhubarb. Oak adds a welcome spice, but a pickled finish leaves a last impression.
