Showing pretty, golden hue, this Chardonnay opens with aromatics reminiscent ripe orchard fruits, brioche, lemon zest and vanilla cream. The astringency is there, as the fruit flavors combine with a lovely rich texture. The mouthfeel is smooth, leading to the mineral and vanilla driven finish. (Best 2017-2024) - August, 2017 (OB)
