The 2005 Chardonnay is reticent aromatically with aromas and flavors of toasty oak and tropical fruits which expand nicely on the palate. Layered, intense, and long, this well-balanced Chardonnay can be enjoyed over the next 2-3 years.

Ripe, supple and appealing for its range of tangerine-scented pear and floral flavors, lingering nicely on the harmonious finish. A backbone of firm texture gives this an extra lift. Drink now through 2009. 5,000 cases made.??–HS??Region: Australia / Western Australia / Margaret River Select to Add
