Crisp but still more oak than I’d like to taste.

More oak. More depth of fruit and complexity as well.

This is an aromatic Chardonnay flowing with flavors of juicy apples and hazelnut. Very little oak presence here and a fine dose of acidity. Drink for another three years to keep this bright an somewhat along to a Chablis.
