Description
TASTING NOTE:
Sweetly spiced and creamy yet with a vibrant core, this showcases opulent yet well-wrangled flavors of mashed autumn orchard fruit with warm vanilla, hazelnuts and white figs, as well as a seam of chalky minerality. The finish unfurls with layered elegance. Drink or hold.

WINEMAKER’S NOTE:
This DAOU Reserve Chardonnay comes from a special selection of old vines in Edna Valley. Here, in one of California’s most esteemed Chardonnay regions, these mature vines produce a wine of remarkable depth and elegance. In the glass, a dazzling golden straw color teases the elegance to come. Aromas of pineapple, golden apple and jasmine reveal notes of peaches and cream. A rounded palate brings layers of honeydew melon, citrus, pear and rose hip with alluring accents of vanilla. Bright acidity extends into a balanced, mouthwatering finish.
