Everyone that has recently tried this wine will attest to the fact that it continues to improve every time they taste it! Moreover, it did not start out as a slouch either! It received numerous accolades from the Wine Spectator, including top chardonnay at $30 and under (93 Points from James Laube) and The American Fine Wine Competition gave it a Gold Medal. Last year, Virginie Boone of the Wine Enthusiast described the wine “Heady in voluptuous up front oak, this wine’s rich full-bodied character continues with a taste of brioche and caramel apple. The creaminess on the palate is met by buoyant underlying acidity.” We believe her description is spot on except that the wine is now super smooth and beautifully integrated.

"Rich in pineapple, melon and vanilla pudding, this robust white is creamy in texture and concentration, with an enduring lushness on the palate. It shows its oak and weight, offering a lasting finish of baking spice."
