This Chardonnay was aged for 18 months in roughly 30% new French oak prior to bottling and begins with a ripe bouquet of pineapple, roasted peaches, creme brûlée and suggestions of nutmeg. It possesses a wonderful mouthfeel and texture, leading to vivid flavors of apricot jelly, brioche, poached pear and suggestions of vanilla crème which presist through the finish. A lovely Chardonnay to approach early on. (Best 2017-2026) - September, 2017 (OB)
