Tasting Note: An aged chardonnay with umph, texture, character and a complex midpalate.

Medium-intensity gold in color, this wine has an aromatic, medium-plus-intensity nose of brioche, walnut and baked red apple with hints of vanilla.

On the palate the dry, medium-plus-bodied chardonnay has medium-plus-intensity flavors suggested on the nose along with notes of white nectarine supported by medium acidity and completing with a medium-plus finish.

The oak is light and well-integrated.

The wine can be enjoyed now but has aging potential.
