Country: US / Star Vineyard
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: D.R. Stephens / Rutherford
Offering deep complexity, this bold, brazen wine is decadent in caramel and toffee aromas and flavors, with a foundation of ripe Gravenstein apple and hazelnuts. The oak is pronounced but it adds more than it subtracts. Cellar through 2018.
