Nose

Bright fresh aromas and flavors of green apple, lemon grass and butterscotch are carried forward by a very healthy natural acidity in this barrel-fermented Chardonnay.

Palate

New Virginia oak barrels contribute a subtle flavor of toasted nuts to the flavor profile. The perfectly balanced finish lingers long enough to remind you that, red or white, this is one great bottle of wine.
