description: Tasted alongside Ramey's Hudson bottling, this one's distinctly different, a softer, creamier, fleshier wine, but no less compelling. From the Napa side of the appellation, the wine is fat and oily in peach custard, butter-and-Cognac-sautéed pineapple and vanilla bean flavors, and while the charred oak is notable, it's fully in keeping with the wine's power.
variety: Chardonnay
