"Bright, focused apple and lemon aromas anchor the nose of this Chardonnay. The palate is clean and lively, displaying flavors of Honey crisp apple, with tangerine and lemon winding up the intensity. A long, complex and mouthwatering finish comes in a framework of beautifully integrated French oak." Wine Enthusiast
"Wonderfully intense and vibrant, with plenty of generosity to the flavors of Key lime, quince, pear and Honey crisp apple on its taut, mouthwatering frame. Offers accents of tarragon and lemon verbena, with a note of crunchy se salt on the energetic finish." Wine Spectator
