This Chardonnay aspires to a fuller, richer style, reminiscent of a Montrachet. The nose opens with creme brulée and brioche with honeyed dried fruits, clementine zests, and holiday spices. Layered within are ripe fruit flavors of tangerine, pear, baked and fresh apple. The palate is long and satisfying with significant weight and mouthfeel buttressed with a tangy acidity and long, finishing tannins. Ripe fruit flavors mingle, with a leesy presence and zesty uplift that lengthens the palate considerably. While compelling now, this wine will open and develop for the next 3 to 6 years.
