Jeff Pisoni brings his considerable Chardonnay experience to bear here, and he opts for a fairly opulent style with this offering, with rich oak toast joining apple and pear fruit, and bright acidity to keep things knit together. The finish is still integrating, so decant or age a while for full enjoyment. It is a blend of Hyde and Old Wente clones.
