Tasting Notes

This Chardonnay opens with intense fresh fruit aromas of apples, pears, and melons, joined by signature characters of crème Brûlée, caramel and graham cracker. Ripe orchard fruit flavors are joined by creamy, buttery notes and balanced by lively acidity.

Food Pairings

Chicken salad with apples and brie cheese, crab cakes, and herb crusted pork chops.
