Waimea Estates Chardonnay 2012

Pale yellow. Nectarine and pineapple aromas are complicated by a sexy hint of oak. Offers good texture and intensity for the vintage, with ripe stone fruit flavors displaying an easygoing quality. Shows an oaky edge to the fruit and spice flavors on the finish. Score - 88. (Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar, Sept../Oct. 2013)
