Wild fermented in French oak barriques, 50% new, and aged in barrel for 10 months, the 2008 Casarina Reserve Chardonnay gives intensely toasty / cedary notes over ripe stone fruit and guava notes with hints of green mango, pineapple and cashews. Medium bodied, lively acidity lifts the ripe tropical and stone fruit flavors with a suggestion of creaminess to the texture and a long finish. Drink this one now to 2016+.
