A pale golden yellow. Slightly cloudy due to the unfiltered and unfined style of this wine. On the nose, I get caramel apples, butterscotch, creamy fresh butter with toast and fresh pears. A rich mouthfeel that confirms the nose—caramel apples, and creamy butter. High acids are well balanced with the rich oak component of this wine, making it a nice pairing with many foods, including lobster with butter and Chicken Alfredo.

Aromas of Holiday spices-cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves, followed by dried cranberries and fresh cherries. Flavors of cherry, cola and baked cinnamon with hints of fresh floral components on the palate. Finishes with fresh cherries, pencil shavings and spice.

On the nose, this wine has aromas of rich, tropical fruit and apple cobbler. Scents of crème brûlée, sweet peach and honeysuckle are also present in this complex Chardonnay. Upon first sip, the entrance to the palate is seduced with flavors of mango, red apple and ripe nectarine flavors. These are quickly followed by notes of hazelnut, honeycomb, brown sugar and the spice of new French oak on the finish. Food pairing: Shrimp Scampi, Sea Bass, Fettuccine with Clam Sauce, Pecorino Cheese or a Double Cream Camembert or Brie.

A rich, dark opaque, ruby color. The first and dominant aroma on the nose is a bakers spice, with hints of brambleberry fruit--blackberry, raspberry. Cocoa. Dried cherries and savory spice. Flavors of dried fruits, raspberries, chocolate and cherry pie. That savory component carries through to the mouth, in tandem with a solid acid and tannin base. Will age nicely and pair well with hearty meals.
