90 / B+
Tasted by Mike Supple - 21 Oct 2008
Medium lemon yellow core with a bright clear rim. Ripe and tropical on the nose with yellow pear and apple fruits backed by rich mango, nectarine and a dose of wet slate. Impressively round in the mouth with nice full body and rich mouth feel. Pineapple and mango flavors are accented by zesty lemon and lime, all underscored by a good dose of minerals and acid. Round and ripe yet crisp and refreshing. A complex, fun California Chardonnay.
