a massively constructed chardonnay that's opulent and concentrated and bursts in the mouth with pineapple, lemon drop candy, asian pear and white peach flavors of enormous ripeness. the entire production of 108 cases was aged in new oak, so there's a lavish veneer of sweet, smoky buttered toast. sur lie aging is evident in the creaminess and ever so slight sourdough tartness that adds a piquant touch. this impressive chard is at its best now in its flashy, flamboyant youth.
