    Brilliant, medium golden color. The aromatics are very intense offering scents of white peach and vanilla bean with supporting notes of apricot stone and butterscotch. The palate confirms the nose delivering a ripe stone fruits-driven core with flavors of lychee and vanilla cream. The finish is long and lingering with bold flavors of toasted oak.

This Chardonnay is greatly influenced by the charred, American White oak that once held Bourbon but it does not taste like of Bourbon! We bet you're going to enjoy it. $17.99 – 4 Stars - 91 points
