A decadent Chardonnay for an end of the meal treat for those guests that don't want a Cabernet or dessert wine. 

Aromas of pear, spice and hazelnut flow through to the flavors. Pear and honeysuckle with white currants emerge from the full bodied, rich and complex wine. Buttery flavors accented by caramel apples and satiny mouthfeel define the finish.

  • 91 points, Connoisseurs' Guide (May 2014): "Impressing right from the first for its nicely proportioned mix of very deep, well-defined fruit and creamy, mildly caramelly oak, this rich and confident look at Chardonnay never once eases up and further impresses for its stamina and continuity. It is fairly full-bodied but shows nary a hint of fat, and it counts careful balance among its many noteworthy achievements."
  • 90 points, The Tasting Panel (Apr.14): " Ripe and spicy with lovely honey-infused flavors; bright oak and silky texture; long and elegant; juicy and fresh."

A mere 195 cases made. Drink now or hold 5-6 years.
