94pts Wine Enthusiast
Closed at first, this full-bodied wine holds onto its Bosc pear, ginger and lightly toasted oak flavors rather tightly until further sipping and savoring brings them out. The wine is a great candidate for aging since it has the good acidity and inherent concentration to develop more interest over time.
Wine Spectator

Winemaker Notes
This wine entices with aromas of baked apple, caramel popcorn, apricot, quince, toasted marshmallow, and buttercream. Elegant, upfront ripe flavors of Bartlett pear, peach cobbler, graham cracker, butterscotch follow with baking spice on the smooth finish.
In addition to a wide variety of appetizers, shellfish and poultry dishes, Reserve Chardonnay pairs perfectly with richer foods that enhance this fuller bodied and deliciously creamy wine.
Blend: 100% Chardonnay
