Comes in a very heavy bottle. Has 13.5% alcohol and 4 g/L residual sugar with lot number L1719913064 on the back label. Screwcap closure. TONY ASPLER / 89-points - Day-glow yellow; toasty, slightly reductive nose of peach and oak spice; full-bodied, richly extracted toasty ripe peach backed by oak and balanced with fresh acidity.

| TASTING NOTE: At first, this high-altitude Chardonnay comes across as massively oaked, as if extracted from a wood pile. With time, it sheds its heavy oak blanket and shows secondary notes of spiced apple and melon. It's dominated by wood throughout, and if that's not your thing, this might not be for you. Full and generous, yet balanced; drink through 2020. Score - 90 (Michael Schachner, Wine Enthusiast, Feb. 1, 2018) |
