Tasting Notes
This is a classic Chardonnay which reflects its prime terroir. Rutherford has produced a wine with fantastic concentration with a rich texture as a result of careful use of stainless steel and French oak fermentation.
Ripe, generous and complex with aromas of delicious asian pear and kumquat. A rich, creamy palate of fresh lemon grass spice and subtle hints of vanilla.
