Here is a spicy racy palate-ripping Chardonnay. The fruit rules here, a tasty mix of lime, pineapple, grapefruit and green apples. It was barrel fermented in French oak, though its flavors are more along the lines of a stainless steel style.

This is a sharp, almost liquorous wine. It features plump fruit flavors of yellow apple, pear and white peach. Barrel fermented in French oak, it still needs a bit more bottle age to round itself out. Drink 2018 and beyond.

This wine explodes with a glorious mix of buttered nuts, toast, ripe yellow fruits and supporting acidity. The exceptional length proposes at least a decade of development ahead. Drink now through 2025.

A whiff of volatility distracts a bit from an otherwise enjoyable wine that has notes of butterscotch, tapioca and spice. The palate is medium bodied with sweet tropical fruit flavors. Tasted twice with consistent notes.
