There's a stalky, baked angle to the nose of this full-bodied, heavily oaked Chardonnay. The palate, as the nose suggests, is heavy and rich, with candied, creamy banana and baked apple flavors. It's ripe and oily on the finish.

An oily white-fruit aroma is overrun by a heavy oak scent, leaving notes of resin and toast on the bouquet. The wine feels fleshy, and the palate keeps that theme going with baked flavors of apple and peach. This is about as oaky as a wine can be and still be very good.

Shows some nice qualities such as barrel notes of popcorn and buttered toast, but overall the wine is too soft and tropical to rate higher. The palate is plump, fruity and flush, but also low in acid and soft. Flavorwise, it's pure tropical fruit with a hollow finish.
