Wonderfully expressive, complex Chardonnay that offers up inviting aromas of coconut oil, buttermilk, yellow apple, apricot, orchard blossom and stony mineral. Still quite youthful on the palate, with vivacious acidity and generous oak accents. Crisp, lightly toasty finish has a lip-smacking mineral and orchard apple notes. Everything is in place for this to cellar nicely; expect it to become even more interesting over 5+ years. Also enjoyable tonight with pork roast. (VINTAGES panel, Nov. 2012)

Angles to a vanishing point, laser perspective. Will realize a unique and defined vinous exegesis. Cosmic expression of Chardonnay out of Prince Edward County." @normhardie
