castel's blanc is always a well-made selection, and the 2010 carries on that tradition. with 12 months spent in french oak, this is a rich and rounded chardonnay that exhibits excellent balance and structure, matching bright acidity and refreshing sweet citrus flavors with lush notes of wood-grilled apple, orange creamsicle, crushed yellow flower and peach pit nuttiness. accents of woody spice and lime zest carry onto the long finish.
