This full-bodied, robust wine offers golden apples, pineapples and a hint of butter on a big frame of acidity and firming oak influence. It feels tight and subdued, offers subtle oak spices and a hint of toast. Look for more complexity with time in the bottle

Juicy, edgy and fruit-forward, this bold wine has a pronounced oak character that lingers in baking spice and vanilla. Medium bodied, it shows richness and complexity, with an opulent texture and refined tannin.

Barrel fermented, this robust white tastes of freshly cut pear, brioche and toasted oak, with a side note of baked apple. With a steely finish, it exudes richness through the midpalate, with hints of nutmeg and vanilla.

The 2017 Chardonnay Reserve offers a more rich, buttery style that carries plenty of apple-like fruits, white currants, and honeyed citrus aromas and flavors. It’s nicely textured, has bright acidity, and a clean finish.
