Winemakers Notes
This dry barrel aged Chardonnay provides fruit forward flavors of pineapple, tropical fruit and a hint of melon.  The oak is subtle by design and complements the fruit with a toasty, vanilla aroma which enhances the depth of this wine. Although delicate, the depth is pronounced with a slight buttery, creamy finish.
