The 2014 Chardonnay, which saw 100% malolactic fermentation, has a pronounced and seductive, honeyed-peach and marzipan nose with a cinnamon toast and ginger undercurrent. Apple tart, as well as yeasty and toasty notes grace the silky palate, which has a long and savory finish. This Chardonnay has beautiful harmony and should age well for 5-7 years.

Pale yellow-gold. Assertive scents of pear and peach nectar, tangerine and iodine; a smoky mineral flourish adds vivacity. Silky and expansive in the mouth, offering intense orchard and pit fruit flavors along with hints of fennel and buttery brioche. Conveys a deft blend of richness and energy and finishes gently sweet and impressively long, leaving poached pear and floral notes behind.

Pale lemon yellow. Strong citrus notes and still quite lean in terms of weight and acidity but with admirable satin texture. This should improve. (JR)
