Winemaker Notes
The 2016 Reserve Chardonnay has wonderful aromas of baked apple, pineapple, and baking spices. On the palate, the creamy lemon meringue nutmeg notes are well balanced by crisp acidirty and a rich mouthfeel. Enjoy this Chardonnay now with cheese raviolis with cream sauce, herb crusted halibut, roasted chicken, or cellar it for enjoyment over the next 3 to 5 years.

Wine Enthusiast
High toned, stony and structured, this is a crisp, complete and lengthy wine, with ample body and complexity. The oak is aromatic and sweet in baking spice, with a lasting taste of lemon meringue and baked pineapple.
