New release ZD makes one of California's most popular Chardonnays, a must for any Chard fan. New release! 91 Points Wine Enthusiast: "Big flavors and a broad, mouthfilling texture help this barrel-fermented beauty stand out. Vanilla, custard and melted butter aromas lead to similarly rich flavors on the palate, where the wine feels layered and concentrated. Connoisseurs Guide: "Ripe Gala apples and creamy oak are the dominant themes of this rich and wide-open offering, and, while subtlety and nuance are not its strengths, this is a wine that lacks for little in the way of juicy, outgoing richness. It is moderately full-bodied and a bit oily in feel, and, while it does not err to slow-footed softness, it is a tasty Chardonnay best tagged for drinking before too many years have passed."

Bright and breezy. Lovely citrus nose, which glides onto the palate. Hazelnuts and freshly baked brioche mingle with marzipan. Finishes with a kiss of oak and butter.
