Fermented in oak barrels, 40% new, and aged for 10 months, the 2010 Estate Chardonnay gives intense citrus aromas of fresh grapefruit, lemon juice and orange slices over lightly toasted bread and cashews. Medium bodied with medium-high acid, the palate is nicely balanced with a pleasant creaminess to the texture and a long lemon curd laced finish. Approachable now, it should cellar to 2016+.
