The 2016 Chardonnay Belle Cote charges forth from the glass with gregarious tropical fruits—lychees, melon and pineapple—with hints of allspice, Turkish delight, honeysuckle and gingerbread. Full-bodied, rich and exuberant in the mouth, it has wonderfully spicy mid-palate expression and a long, decadent finish. 1,860 cases produced.
