Winery Review: The 2001 vintage marks a return to form for this great value Chardonnay. The aromas feature creamy, mellow, golden apple, pineapple, fresh butter and a touch of vanilla. Then rich, ripe flavors of yellow pear, pineapple, fresh apple, cream and buttered toast swell up and fill your mouth before a juicy apple and caramel inflected finish makes your mouth water (and smile!).
Personal Review: This Chardonnay smelled like orange peel, sour melon, lemon, and Granny Smith apples. The taste was a lot sweeter than the smell, with rich aromas of caramel apple, honeydew melon, and cantaloupe coming through. The wine had a thick, creamy mid-palate and was buttery on the finish, signifying some oak barrel aging. I did not have this wine with any food.
