Pale-gold in color, with lemon, walnut, clove spice, exotic white flower, and saltwater taffy aromas. This wine opens with lemon meringue and apple pie flavors, with a lightly creamy mid-palate and medium-plus acidity. This Chardonnay deftly walks a tightrope balanced between generosity and elegance.
Aromas of seashell, orange blossom, apple, pineapple, and damp soil with a hint of vanillin oak. The wine opens with fresh, lushly textured tropical fruit that transitions to citrus and apple flavors on the spice inflected mid-palate. Medium acidity turns lightly saline on the vivacious finish of this delicious chardonnay.
This pinot noir offers up a complex mélange of cherry cola, herbal tea, pennyroyal mint, forest floor, orange peel, and cinnamon spice. The velvet textured mid palate is full of fresh fruit, with medium acidity and chocolate notes evident on the saline and intriguingly savory finish.
Pleasing aromas of cherry blossom, wild herb, rhubarb, forest floor mint, and truffle. An exuberant swirl of red and black fruits burst out with lushly-textured raspberry, black cherry, and car acara orange flavors that build richness toward supple, lightly dusty tannins, with uplifting acidity adding freshness.
