Cattleya Chardonnay The Temptress 2020
Sampling this dreamy new white wine is reminiscent of our Chardonnay ‘first loves’ crafted by Pahlmeyer or Chateau Boswell years ago! The opulent bouquet boasts honeysuckle and jasmine aromas then leads to notes of refreshing citrus oil, mandarin orange peel, and peach blossoms plus Tahitian vanilla and butterscotch on the alluring finish. The palate is pure joy to drink now through 2030. Bravo.
