"These special offerings are always consistent and a pleasure to drink. They are a snapshot of a selection to showcase the best vintage. This Chardonnay is rich and supple, with aromas of yellow apple, Asian pear, and notes of Pink grapefruit, with light toasted oak on the nose. The flavors on the palate are pithy apple, peach, dried apricot, tangerine zest, and grippy tannins on the finish.Š'ŠTonya Pitts"

"Aromas of pears, melon, citrus and light oak spices. The palate is mid-weighted with a smooth texture and balanced acidity, giving a fresh, fruit-driven finish. Easygoing and varietal. Drink now. Screw cap."

"This wine offers fresh, lush, white grapefruit, guava and white peach on the nose. The palate is lively, offering Meyer lemon cream, white nectarine, graham cracker and dried herbs that glide into acacia honey, mineral and a dry finish. Pair with fritto misto. Best Buy. "T.P."
