This is a carefully oaked Chardonnay that has the acidity to carry both the creamy oak character and the ripe, vibrant fruit. Zesty apple, pear, lemon and soft oak spice mix well on the nose and in the mouth. A bright clean finish lingers and holds each element in place into the distance. Crisp and creamy bells are ringing!
