An aromatic and richly flavored Chardonnay from Canoe Ridge Vineyard. The wine shows dominant aromas of pear, apple and toasty oak accented with hints of butterscotch, sweet lime, vanilla and baking spice. The mouth feel is rich and the finish is long and silky. Bright yellow. Aromas of lemon, apple and toasty, smoky oak. Ripe but dry, with noteworthy intensity of spiced apple and citrus flavors. Harmonious acids give this wine terrific clarity and cut. Finishes youthful and impressively persist...
