description: The philosophy here is to rely on bottle age to bring the acids into balance, rather than doing a lot of malolactic fermentation. The current release is this '97 when most producers are onto the '99s. Despite only 15% malo, there's a creamy richness to this wine in the mouth to go with delicate toast and bold pineapple flavors that pick up anise and black pepper notes on the finish.
variety: Chardonnay
