On the palate, this Chardonnay is comfortingly weighty without feeling heavy. The aromas and flavors, offering hints of citrus, tropical fruit, vanilla, spice, beeswax and honey, are ripe and rich without being overtly sweet. This is a Chardonnay that is both sophisticated and approachable, delivering true pleasure with every sip.
