The 2012 Were Dreams (in a screw cap closure) is a delightful Northern Italian Chardonnay with a great sense of heft and structure to hold it in place. The wine shows a medium rich golden appearance with lively aromas of peach cobbler, baked apple, vanilla bean and exotic fruit. Although the wine boasts good structure, the finish in this vintage is shorter compared to past editions. It ages for 11 months in French oak. According to my submission form, the wine is an assembly of 97% Chardonnay and 3% "top secret." My guess is that the mysterious blending element is an aromatic variety.
