Winery review:Made from 85% Chardonnay, 15% Viognier. 30% malolactic fermentation, 30% was aged in French oak barrels. Brilliant yellow golden color with green hints. The wine is crisp and filled with white peach, pear, green apples flavors, toasty vanilla. Elegant and luscious wine, well balanced. Crisp and long finish. Pairs well with creamy soups, pork, veal, vegetables. - Vintage Cellar Tasting NotesMy review: I found this wine to be very buttery on the palate, like most Chardonnays. It was very smooth and drinkable but I wasn't able to taste the apple in this wine. It seems to me that most apple taste is more apparent in crisp whites, rather than Chardonnays. I was able to taste the toasty vanilla and pear in this wine but the most obvious taste to me was butter.
