Winery Notes 

Brilliant aromas of lemon oil, nectarine, lime zest, chamomile and wet stone combine with our signature floral scent reminiscent of honeysuckle and jasmine. Green apple, pear and nectarine expand out over the rich, viscous mid-­palate. The acidity comes forward as it carries the flavors on to a long, lemony finish. Though surprisingly generous in its youth, the concentration and the vibrant structure of this wine suggest an extremely good vintage for aging in the cellar. Decanting one to two hours before serving is recommended.

Critical Acclaim

"This vintage is tight and stong, with oak firming up the plump and gentle curves of peach-like fruit. Air brings up a chamomile flower scent that lasts, the finish clean and delicate. " – 94 Wine & Spirits

"Bright straw-yellow. High-pitched perfume of baked apple, lime zest, dusty oak spices, lavender and crushed stone, plus a whiff of Calvados. Broad, silky and mouthfilling but with a light touch and lovely perfume to the flavors of citrus pith, minerals, nutmeg and flowers. This dry, very young chardonnay manages to excite the palate without leaving any impression of weight. Finishes subtle, smooth and very long, with impressive aromatic carry-through on the end. Shows no edges today but I'd cellar this for at least a few years to allow it to express itself more fully. A superb vintage for this bottling." – 93 Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar
