Tasting notes
Pale gold.Slightly exotic aromas of honeyed apple, earth, baking spices and mocha. Sweet, lush and fat, with tropical fruit flavors complicated by sexy earth and smoke notes. Offers an enticing combination of seamless texture and good life in the mouth.Finishes with a flavor of ripe toffee apple, with brisk suggestions of mineral salts and orange peel giving grip to the back end.

The 2004 Chardonnay Home Vineyard Spring Ridge Vineyard is a knock-out effort revealing a light gold hue, a big, sweet nose of poached pears, hazelnuts, white peaches, and flowers, superb intensity, a fabulously deep, full throttle mid-palate, and good underlying acidity.
