Estimate
The full-bodied 2012 Chardonnay reveals more buttery popcorn and honeysuckle characteristics, but there is no doubting the minerality, great fruit, super-freshness and 40+-second finish.
A dazzling effort that combines intensity with purity of flavor, depth, focus and persistence, presenting a core of juicy apple, honeydew, citrus and meringue flavors. Shows a hint of toasty oak on the finish, where this gains a measure...
...incredibly thick and smooth in the mouth, but with a brisk candied orange peel element and vibrant acidity giving lift to the concentrated stone fruit and vanilla custard flavors.
