Striking a balance between elegant and super-rich, this is a great vintage for our Hudson Vineyard – Carneros Chardonnay, and one of the standouts of the growing season. The aromas are bright and pure, with exuberant notes of pineapple, peach and pear. On the palate, this wine continues revealing its vibrant nature with more sophisticated layers of poached pear, spice cake, caramel apple ginger and clove, supported by lovely density and a creamy mouthcoating texture.
