Our expressive Bo-Teek Vineyard speaks with authority through this remarkable Chardonnay. The vines have perfectly translated the terroir into the wine and the bold Mutsu apple, Bosc pear, lemon zest and wildflower honey notes flow from the glass. Just as important and underpinning the melody are essences of freshly toasted almonds and wet slate. Sheering through the richness of the wine is a welcome bright acidity that keeps the multitude of elements defined and focused. The weight of the song can be felt within the broad, elegant structure of the Chardonnay that nimbly holds each note in place while still allowing for moving layers of harmonic pairs. The overall symphony is grand, and we delight in the full sensory assault. As the wine slips away and the traces of the luscious concert quiet, the peace that remains holds wonderful shadows and memories of what was.
