Merry Edwards Chardonnay

Extended time on the lees and biweekly stirring have developed an opulent aroma reminiscent of ripe, baked apples and crème brûlée with fresh-grated nutmeg and vanilla. This complements the underlying, expansive spectrum of orchard fruits — white peach, nectarine, Golden Delicious apple and Anjou pear. Scents of David Austin roses, jasmine and tuberoses add even more fragrance. Highly textural, this Chardonnay shows off a decadent palate that is weighty and voluptuous. A hint of racy, sweet Meyer lemon balances a rich core, creating a harmony of opposites and leading us to a bright, lifted and lasting finish.
