Tasting Notes
"Exotic nose of ripe pear and jasmine, with hints of clove and
hazelnut. Juicy flavors of citrus, pear and lemon butter with subtle toasty finish." - Melissa Stackhouse, La Crema Winemaker
Acclaim
90 Points - "Displays more orange marmalade, honeysuckle, concentrated citrus oil, and lemon butter characteristics. Spicy, rich, and full-bodied, it is an outstanding Chardonnay to enjoy over the next 1-2 years." - Robert M. Parker Jr., The Wine Advocate
