Oak Chardonnay-2021

An opulent and satisfying Chardonnay. Unapologetic about its barrel-fermented fuller-bodied style, this wine is nimble enough to not overwhelm the palate. This can be compared to a bold Burgundy style at its very balanced and best. The palate is meringue-like in texture, sitting lightly in the mouth while melting into creamy richness. This is one of those wines that makes you want a second glass. Go ahead, we won't tell.
