Wine Enthusiast94 pts

The nose of this Chardonnay leads with a hint of flinty reduction, followed by a generous wave of bright tangerine, green apple and cinnamon aromas. The palate brings some toasty barrel elements, with flavors of Anjou pear, pineapple sage, lemon verbena and pithy lemon peel ruling the finale. Best from 2030-2040.
