winemaker jim law has fashioned a finessed chardonnay that offers impressive purity and minerality, bearing burgundian-like qualities. notes of pear, green apple, kiwi and white currant are offset by a lemon-lime edge. it's all layered with streaks of blonde caramel and toasted hazelnut that add richness. the palate is clean, linear and vibrant, with a modicum of clove and a vein of liquid stone. the finish remains fresh and lifted.
