TASTING NOTE: Cellared for over a year in French oak, this big, bold Chardonnay from the hot, sunny 2012 vintage shows ripe peach, apple butter and vanilla custard notes with a toasty undertone and bright acidity. Pour it with pork chops, baked apples and cheddar-and-cream mashed potatoes. (Vintages panel, March 2017) |
