Tasting Notes
Tempting fragrances of yuzu, poached pear, and marzipan swirl in the glass, introducing the 2022 Signature Chardonnay.
On the palate, lively Golden Delicious apple, Bosc pear, and zesty lemon oil notes are framed by a delicate river stone minerality. For all its vibrancy and lift, the mouthfeel displays a plush, velvety texture that gives way to a bright, refreshing finish accented by floral notes of jasmine blossom and hawthorn with softer hints of clove and nutmeg.

"Fresh and full-bodied, sporting apple pie aromas and bright but ripe flavors for good balance overall. Tangy green apples blend with ripe golden apples, hints of butter and vanilla bean on the palate. Drink or hold."
