Tasting notes
The Reserve Chardonnay has a good nose with plenty of good things going for it. The Chardonnay begins with a classic expression of French oak, tropical fruit, fresh pomaceous tree fruit and a delicious candied citrus expression. On the palate, the use of French oak shines through more noticeably, reminding me of something from the Russian River Valley in California. Medium-bodied, the wine has a structure that is balanced with bright, fresh acidity, ending with a long finish.
