    Slightly astringent, textural tones of citrus rind, apple peel and almond skin are supported by rich notes of pineapple and mango. The medium-weight palate is zingy and refreshing, with an orange-zest flavor and soft toasty character on the close. Drink now.

    A light and basic Chardonnay that lacks the fruit to match the oak utilized. There's structure and it finishes long, but the wine is dominated by toasted oak.
