On the nose, freshly toasted brioche, hazelnut shell, and white pepper arrive swiftly, with an additional hint of spiced apple. The aromatics of the wine are a great meet-cute of what's inside. The barrel toast notes quickly evolve into dynamic characteristics of a ripe pear creating a seamless dance around each other on your palate. This Chardonnay is so versatile. I would chill it on a warm day or purposefully pair it with a decadent halibut dinner.
