Strawberries, hints of cherries, and roses waft up from the glass. Raspberries take the lead on the palate, followed by strawberries, then cherries.

Hints of oak and vanilla flow under melon and pear on the nose. Apple, pear, and Meyer lemon, with vanilla and a touch of toast make a complex palate. It has bright acidity and a soft, round mouth-feel. This is an excellent, rich, round, complex wine, with a sophistication several

The color is lovely, a bright garnet with jewel-like clarity. Blackberry, brambles, and a touch of tobacco leaf waft up from the glass.

It’s such a pleasure to relax into this  Chardonnay that, despite being made in California, is quite Burgundian in style. This wine is full bodied, with beautifully balanced elements of fruit, oak and acidity. There’s a touch of honey, then peach skin on the end palate and into the finish,

The wine is pale gold, and the aromas are floral and stone fruit, evoking white flowers with peaches, pears and nectarines. Surprisingly hefty body with honey and acidity on the palate and a longish finish during which that hint of honey returns. Drink with grilled hamburgers or fish. Very good:
