Wine Description
An elegant fragrance of chamomile, lemon and grapefruit pith, with darker tones of honey
and bees wax followed by hazelnut and even savory elements of thyme and walnut. An even,
mineral-dry, taut character to the wine when it first hits the tongue extends with a rounded
fullness as it begins to develop in bottle.
"The 2006 Chardonnay (4,600+ cases) was 80% tank-fermented with no malolatic, and 33% spent 18 months in barrel. It possesses lovely white peach, pear, and crushed rock characteristics, full body, splendid acidity as well as purity, and a gracious integration of subtle oak. This beautiful white can be enjoyed over the next 5-6 years." 93 Points
