| Likeness | Chardonnay in the orchard fruit and the dry lean. Lemon, pear, and green apple sit on a faint mineral spine that carries a light close. Clean, and light. | A Chardonnay that keeps its shape. Tropical fruit and pear, oak as a quiet spice rather than butter, and a body that holds better than most dealcoholized whites. The fruit leaves first. The spice stays quiet. | Not yet tasted |
