WINEMAKER'S NOTE
This fresh and fragrant wine is creamy and lovely. Crafted with toasty oak and a buttery sheen, this classic Chardonnay has enough pear and green apple fruit to back it up. It is saturated with lemon, green apple and apricot flavors while remaining clean and firm. This medium-bodied crowd pleaser integrates its fruit, wood and acidity with finesse.
