Tasting Notes

"Tropical flavors -- pineapple, mango and papaya with a creamy lush rich palate. Notes of cinnamon, candied lime and vanilla crème brûlée create an appealing and lingering sensation." – Randy Ullom, Winemaster

Acclaim

93 Points - "Sophisticated, rich, elegant and packed full of floral, pineapple, citrus, buttery fruit, with flecks of orange and spice. Fresh toasted bread mixes with a creamy mid-palate and a long smouldering finish." Anthony Gismondi, Wine Access, April 2008

92 Points - "A stunning Chardonnay with light gold color and a gorgeous nose of honeyed tropical fruits intermixed with hints of hazelnut and subtle oak. The wine is fleshy, rich, pure, and a total delight to drink."
Robert M. Parker Jr., Wine Advocate, December 2007
