EXPERTS:
“The 2015 Chardonnay Oak Knoll District offers loads of crisp white peach, honeysuckle, apple blossom and citrus oil notes followed by a zesty, well-balanced and impeccably clean and fresh Chardonnay with the oak barely noticeable whatsoever. This is a medium to full-bodied, beautifully rendered Oak Knoll Chardonnay to drink over the next 7-8 years.” –RP Jr., RobertParker.com

“This wine combines fruity tropical flavors of pineapple, honey and papaya with lighter tones of orange and green apple. The rich palate is lifted by bright acidity and a lingering crispness.” –V. Boone, Wine Enthusiast Magazine
