2012 Durant & Booth Chardonnay

Tasting Note:June 4, 2017

Light to medium gold yellow. Thick nose with buttery notes, toast oak and some tight sweet spices. Heavy acidity (7.5/10) and medium plus bodied. Layered palate with rich notes and a bit nutty. Ripe tropical notes, yet still fresh with quite a bit of oak influence and baked apples. Long finish.
