The 2013 Chardonnay, barrel fermented and raised in 50% new oak and 50% neutral, had a little dustiness on the nose, but that soon dissipates with touches of lemon curd and honeysuckle. The palate is well balanced, rounded in the mouth with tropical tones (guava and dried pineapple) and a persistent finish. Not bad, although it is overshadowed by some exemplary Pinot Noirs this vintage.
