Product details
Bright honeysuckle, sandalwood, honeydew melon and Asian pear are typical aromas for this classic Chardonnay from our high elevation, limestone laden Mt Harlan vineyard inland from the chilly Monterey Bay. Restrained flavors of apricots, Meyer lemon chiffon, vanilla crème caramel, bosc pear and a tiny hint of wild fennel wrap around the soft, round elegant core with a whisper of sweet French oak and butterscotch. This wine is just a baby and will develop amazing complexity for years to come.
