description: If a Chardonnay could suffer from something called “barrel breath,” this one would. It's like a bowl full of lacquer and heady melon, and the palate is sweet, sweet, sweet. There's vanilla, marshmallow and resin along with more typical melon and citrus. A case of more being less; just too much oak and candy to rate higher.
variety: Chardonnay
designation: Catena Alta
