From the Winemaker:

Tasting Notes -- With delicious fruit intensity, our 2019 Santa Maria Valley Chardonnay opens with beautiful aromas of toasted oak, lemon cream pie, graham cracker and a hint of lime blossom. The palate fills first with bright flavors of fruit, oak, pie crust and toffee, followed by a distinct mineral character and layers of stone and apple fruit on the mid-palate. This wine is an amazing pairing for truffle butter risotto, roasted chicken dishes or buttery lobster.

Aromatics -- Spice, toasted oak, vanilla blend with yellow apple, lemon cream pie, graham cracker, pineapple with a hint of lime blossom

Palate -- first, nuances on the palate reveal the bright, fruity, intense fruit, oak, pie crust, and toffee flavors. The mid-palate has a saline, mineral character between layers of stone and apple fruit showcasing the wine's intensity.
