FLAVOR PROFILE:
A pale yellow color and inviting aromas of golden delicious apple, honeydew melon, lemon zest, white peaches and subtle suggestions of minerals and sweet dill get the show started. The palate then takes the stage and finishes the performance with meyer lemon, honeydew, lime, grapefruit, a hint of spicy vanilla custard, and subtle underlying oak and minerality that round out a pure and lingering finish. While inviting and invigorating now, another year in the cellar will offer rewards to those with the patience.

FOOD PAIRING:
Shellfish (lobster, scallops, prawns, and shrimp) are classic choices, especially when accompanied by a rich sauce: drawn butter or cream sauce. Poultry (chicken, quail, and turkey), white meat (veal and pork), fish (halibut, trout, salmon, and swordfish) and other meats (sweetbreads and rabbit). Pastas, risotto, and other starches (winter squash and polenta) provide a great textural backdrop for many Chardonnays.

WINE REVIEWS:
92 POINTS WINE SPECTATOR: "Deliciously complex, full-bodied and elegant, with a mix of lees, floral, citrus, green apple, honeydew melon and subtle vanilla-butterscotch notes that expand, ending with a long, lingering finish enlivened by crisp acidity."
