Tasting Notes/Food Pairing:
Aromas of fresh pineapple, golden apples, and a hint of honey continue on the palate where mouthwatering acidity, dry mineral flavors and creamy oak notes work in harmony towards a complex but subtle finish - a perfectly balanced complement to a thoughtfully prepared dinner and an irresistible liquid that will leave the bottle drained before you know it.

Press:
92 Points, Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, 2009
"Anoro's 2009 Chardonnay is in bottle but will not be released until February, 2010. It spent 9 months in 70% French oak and 30% in stainless steel before bottling without filtration. The nose reveals a touch of oak, mineral, poached pear, white peach, and a hint of tropical aromas. Medium- to full-bodied on the palate, it is a harmonious effort with good integration of the oak and acid. Spice notes and round, savory flavors coat the palate leading to a lengthy, fruit-filled finish. At the asking price, it is a super-value in Chardonnay for drinking over the next 5 years."
