Strong nose of citrus, lemons, over ripe apples, marzipan, nuts, cedar, spices, light vanilla and herbs.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and fat legs.
Dry on the palate with apples, pears, light earth, spices, nuts, light honeysuckle, light bitter herbs and white pepper.
Long finish with light almonds and limes.
This 12 year old Chardonnay from Sonoma County is still drinking beautifully. Elegant and rich. Spicy and oily. Nicely balanced with a buttery mouthfeel.
Needs 30 minutes to open up properly, but good right out of the bottle too, and better when not too cold.

I’ve had a few vintages of this Single Vineyard Chardonnay, and it is always delicious with age.
Really enjoyed it as a sipping wine, but good with food too.
100% Chardonnay grapes were aged in French oak barrels for 16 months.
