The hue of this wine is pale gold-a color that dramatically sets the stage for what is to come. This wine features flavors of apple, pear, and stone fruits with hints of citrus and tropical notes. Toasted sweet oak, vanilla cream, and baking spice complement a rich, round mouthfeel with balanced acidity and a touch of minerality on the finish. Enjoy this food-friendly Chardonnay with arugula salad with grilled corn, roasted red peppers, and feta cheese; corn chowder or New England clam chowder; Dungeness crab with drawn butter; chicken piccata; or risotto with porcini mushrooms. Serve lightly chilled.
