Review:
A bouquet of golden apples, ripe pears, and toasty vanilla greets the senses. The palate reveals flavors of baked pear and tart apple accented by suggestions of caramel and creamy oak. A crisp, mouth-filling Chardonnay with a welcoming acidity, it would complement a lobster bisque nicely. 320 cases produced.

Review:
Aromas of bramble fruit and cherries come together with a hints of earth and toasty oak on the nose. Flavors of black cherry, plum, and blackberry meld with notes of earth and cedar on the palate. A smooth Merlot with plush tannins, fans of rather dry, slightly earthy reds should try this bottle. 191 cases were made.
