Tasting note:

Vintages Wine Panel: Quality oaked Chardonnay that shows a very deft hand in the winery. Medium-gold colour with aromas of toast, tropical fruit, banana bread and spice cupboard. Dry with a dramatic toast/fruit combo that works wonderfully. Nice acidity, too, to help give this wine impeccable structure. Full bodied with a very long finish. An excellent example of New World oaked Chardonnay. Enjoy it tonight. My note: I’ve recommended this wine year after year for its consistent pleasure and quality. Aromas of green apples, Asian pear and peach are nicely balanced with some smoky oak and toasted almond. Full-bodied and tasty. Food matches: barbecued chicken, portobello mushrooms with a dash of balsamic vinegar.

Jason Solanki rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

2009 vintage tasted June 2012. Melon aromas follow through on palate, leading to fresh, clean mineral notes. Full-bodied with crisp acidity.
