Pale yellow. Nectarine, apple and smoky, nutty oak on the nose. Broad, silky and dry, with very good volume to the stone fruit flavors. This picked up weight with air but finishes with very good cut. Should prove to be a very flexible chardonnay with food.Silky, refined and beautifully proportioned, layering its spicy pear flavors with elements of pineapple and star fruit. Weaves together harmoniously on the nutmeg-tinged finish. Drink now through 2012.
