Winemaker Jeff Gaffner keeps pushing out the hits – and this latest single sings with lively apple, pear and lemon crème, with complementary oak toast and soft spice and zesty acidity that knits everything together through a finish that blows out well integrated flavors. Crisp and creamy – like good California Chardonnay is meant to be!
