This wine sits right in the middle of the Chardonnay spectrum, with a pleasant nutty character serving to boost the apple and pear fruit and moderate toast notes. I like the weight and texture here, and the zesty finish lengthens the pleasure. Comprised 100% of Clone 76, which tends to ripen early while maintaining lively acidity and flavor concentration. Solid Chardonnay!
