The 2019 Chardonnay Hope’s Cuvée needs a little coaxing to reveal scents of ripe apricots, green guava, pineapple upside-down cake and spice cake with an undercurrent of cedar chest, honeycomb and almond croissant. The medium-bodied palate has a gorgeous satiny texture with gentle, well-knit acidity and lots of spice and toast accents to the intense tropical flavors, finishing long and layered.
