Hollywood & Vine Cellars Chardonnay 2480 2013

This intensely floral Chardonnay displays light, ethereal notes of jasmine and apple blossom, supported by ripe apricot and pear, with base notes of vanilla and just a touch of creamy butterscotch from the light contribution of French Oak.

The natural acidity adds a sense of freshness to both the aromas and the flavors and provides a counterpoint to the ripe fruit notes. Very slightly more expansive and broader on the mid-palate than previous vintages, the finish lingers nicely with notes of fresh pear and pineapple.
