The nose is explosive, showing aromas of lemon zest & caramel as well as notes of candied orange peel and butter-poached pear. The mouthfeel is what makes this wine in my opinion. It has a lush, elegant texture that really encompasses the palate. However, unlike some other California Chards, this never once comes across as fat or flabby. There is a pure line of acidity that runs straight through, from entry to finish. The flavor profile is equally exciting. There are complex flavors of orange creme brulee and caramel covered almonds with a jolt of key lime on the finish to brighten things up.
