Tasting Notes:

This Chardonnay offers subtle aromas of jasmine blossom, citrus oil, green apple and pear. The elegant aromas are complemented by fresh kiwi, lemon drop and pippin apple flavors. The fruit-focused midpalate is followed by subtle mineral notes and a hint of crystallized ginger on the finish. Acclamation: 91 Pts Robert Parker
