Plush and peachy, this is a Chardonnay for lovers of ripe fruit. Some papaya notes push the peach into pretty opulent territory, but there’s enough acidity to maintain balance, and very little evident oak to intrude on the ripe fruit, which is undoubtedly the main attraction. A Double Gold Award winner at the 2020 Toast of the Coast International Wine Competition.
