This Chardonnay was sourced from the Olsen Brothers, Lewis, Gamache, Bacchus Sagemoor and Alderbanks vineyards. 70% was aged in used French oak from Cadus, Damy, Dargaud & Jaegle, Francois Freres, Louis Latour and Sirugue, while 30% was aged in stainless tanks, prior to bottling in March 2015. This wine opens with bright aromas of Bartlett pear, wet stone and cantaloupe. This leadsto flavors reminiscent of pineapple, golden delicious apple and brioche. The minerality lingers on the tongue in the lingering finish. This is an excellent effort. (Best 2015-2020) - November, 2015 (OB)
