Since this wine was added to the MH lineup, I have enjoyed it. It's a wine that offers nicely balanced fruit and vibrancy with a bit of weight and texture.
For those who like a "Goldilocks zone" Chardonnay, Mendocino County is a good place to start. This is a much, from that region.
It enters with lovely aromas of peaches and cream. Piecrust spices underlie nice notes of baked apples and pears, fresh tangerine and citrus.
It begins how it ends, with lovely structure. There is a gorgeous balance of acidity and texture. There is richness in the ripeness of the fruit and from barrel and fermentation style, but it is kept in check with nice acid. For me, it sits in the sweet spot of being a nice Chard with the best of both worlds.
Flavors follow the aromas of peaches and cream, apple/pear tart, tangerine, Mandarin and subtle lemon influence all over roasted vanilla bean, fresh baked piecrust and a subtle hazelnut character.
Very nice and imminently food friendly. I recommend this wine, readily.
