Amazing entry with honeydew melon drizzled with fireweed honey. Closely followed by salted watermelon and honeysuckle stems. The entry is big, but not a massive attack, just a big bear hug of a wine. Bizarre astringency follows up right after the entry with the tannin of the French Oak combining with the acid of limes over lemons. Round mouthfeel shows Red Delicious apples initially then a hot baked apple pie using Granny Smith apples with the skins left on. Finish is linear with Carambola followed by a fresh hot Dutch Baby. And the finish shows Sugar coated apples from the County Fair but dusted with lemon-lime Pixie Stix.

Drink this a bit warmer than normal and in a correct leaded crystal Chardonnay glass over just a large-bowled glass and you will experience what this wine is made to be.
