This is a five barrel selection of Chardonnay that really has nothing else in mind besides being Chardonnay. What I mean by that is there are some Chardonnays that seem to be masquerading as unoaked, fruity or even lightly oaked numbers … but this one is unabashedly old school Chardonnay with all its spiced caramel, apple cobbler, buttery-vanilla and spiced-pineapple on the finish … it also has quite a bite, it`s big, brashy wine with a long finish which doesn`t shy away from its use of oak. Only 100 cases made. Price: $40.00 – Rating: ****
