"A flinty, seductive and minerally chardonnay with aromas of fresh Meyer lemons, beeswax and orange blossoms. The palate is full-bodied and textured, complemented by an underlying minerality and high-tension acidity. Notes of mandarins, limes, toasted hazelnuts and lanolin on a long and classy finish. Drink or hold."

"Rich and mouthfilling with flavors of ripe pear, toast and a squeeze of lemon, this wine is framed by lightly smoky oak spice. Balancing acidity washes the mouth and carries the wine into a very long finish. —E.C.B."
