This full-bodied wine tastes bold and oaky, from the aroma of buttered toast to ripe apple flavors shaded by baking spices, butter and hints of wood smoke. It has good acidity to keep it lively, and will appeal especially to fans of big Chardonnay.
Green apple and pear aromas classically characterize this wine as Clarksburg, while honeycomb and vanilla heighten the first impression. The rich, round entry rolls into a viscous and silky mouthfeel, surrounded by Asian pears and Honeycrisp apples. The finish lingers long and soft, like the wafting aromas of grandma's warm apple pie. This versatile wine pairs well with grilled fish, roasted chicken, fresh green salads, and soft, mild cheeses.
