Richly barrel fermented, this wine shares its caramelized toasty oak character with sultry, creamy ripe apple, pear and melon. Lushly layered, it goes spicy on the finish in a dash of piquant nutmeg.

Fires on all cylinders, with massive tropical fruit, peach and green apple fruit, enriched with sweet, smoky, vanilla-accented oak. The malolactic fermentation gives it a creamy, buttered-popcorn richness. It's rich and appealing in the modern style.

This is one of the best California Chardonnays in its price range. It's not a rich wine; instead, it's dry, crisply acidic and minerally, with citrus zest, vanilla cream and subtle oak flavors. With 65,000 cases produced, this should be easy to find.
