This is a perennially impressive wine, floral in a heady perfume of white roses. Fresh and fleshy, the expansive palate offers concentrated flavors of kiwi and pineapple ending bright in juicy acidity.

Bold apricot, yellow plum, bruised yellow apple fruit, laced with vanilla crme, whipped honey notes of seashell wow pure and vibrant despite the intense richness of the wine. A gorgeous, stunning Napa Chardonnay …
Isaac Baker, Terroirist

deep, intense, apple and stone fruit aroma with spicy and tropical notes, and hints of honeysuckle and lemon zest; medium-full body; deep, rich, ripe, layered, citrus, apple, and stone fruit flavors with good depth and acid balance, well integrated oak, mineral notes, and a plush, slightly creamy mouthfeel; lingering aftertaste Very highly recommended.
