Like a bride, this wine captivates the eye with its beauty at first glance. Golden hues catch the light while aromas explode from the glass. Honeysuckle, butterscotch, orange blossom and jasmine all contribute to a lovely floral bouquet. Full, rich and viscous entry with a creamy texture. Flavors are dominated by white peach and complimented by hints of vanilla and toasted oak. Balanced with a nice layer of acidity which lends to a long and pleasant finish.
This wine is a shining example of what a high elevation Napa Valley Chardonnay can be in a cool growing season. Aromas of citrus blossom, peach pith, fresh lime, wet stone and green apple. Floral and oak components give the wine weight, body and a subtle richness. Burgundian in style with a bright and lively attack on the palate. Coupled with an austere minerality, the acid is well balanced and carries through from the start and into a long, clean finish.
