This is an interesting chardonnay from Melville. It's a bit unusual insofar as its acidity seems to be much higher (at least more pronounced) than even the Inox offerings. Serving this a few degrees higher than typical for Melville chards allows it to come into a nice focus. Would be interesting to let this sit a few years to see what happens with it. Definitely inferior to the 2011 version of this wine, but still enjoyable.

Lovely full body tropical flavors kiwi, pineapple; ripe peach, and guava. Moderate oak finish rounds it out on an extended finish. Great choice for snacks while enjoying the view over Mirror Lake.
