Jen’s Notes

Though extremely well made, we did not particularly enjoy this one. It is truly excellent and beautifully made, but I suspect that we drank it way too young. The acidity here is quite powerful, and I had some difficulty getting my palate around it. Nevertheless, I could still detect apple and peach flavors layered over firm minerality. It is a classic, full-bodied Chardonnay. It is always risky for non-experts making guesses like these, but I'd say this one would be perfect in maybe 7-10 years.
