| TASTING NOTE: This is a very attractive chardonnay that shows bright, vibrant fruit right through the palate. It's underpinned by a broad seam of clean, lively acidity, making the texture quite vibrant. There's some oak on the nose and palate, and it's well managed and co-exists with the fruit rather than interferes with it. You could cellar this five or six years, but I would drink it in the next one or two, while it holds its attractive freshness. Score - 4 stars (out of 5) (Rod Phillips, rodphillipsonwine.com, Jan. 2016) |
