Perfumed and exotic, with assorted wild flowers, sauteed apples, spice, vanilla and hints of toast, the 2011 Chardonnay Cold Creek Vineyard fleshes out beautifully on the palate and has a supple, rich texture, integrated acidity and a dry, clean finish. Striking a good balance between richness and freshness, it’s a fleshy, soft effort that delivers loads of pleasure. Enjoy it over the coming year. Drink now-2016. Tel.
