With slightly less oak usage than the 2009 and 40-50% malolactic fermentation in the final blend, the 2010 Piccadilly Chardonnay has enticing aromas of ripe apples and nectarines, lovely cream notes with a little toast, coriander seed and touch of honey. Crisp and tight in the mouth, it shows off citrus flavors laced with a nice peachy component and some minerals before finishing long. This is a nicely handled wine that can drink now to 2016.
