Opening with a delightful nose of poached apples and pears with soft caramel tones and citrus blossom, the 2018 Chardonnay Cold Creek Vineyard shows promise. Medium-bodied, the wine has soft, elegant baking spices from the 50% new French oak usage, as well as flavors of your apple skin, Meyer lemon and persistent flutters of vanilla and cinnamon through the mid-palate. The wine is keenly priced and ends with a pleasing, straightforward finish that delivers layers of expression, showing an excellent value for the price.
