The 2012 Single Vineyard Keltern Vineyard Chardonnay has toasted nut and cedar characters predominating over notes of ripe peaches and apples plus a hint of allspice. At this youthful stage a good amount of oak stands out from the ripe stone fruit and spice flavors on the light to medium-bodied palate and ends up finishing long and a little woody. Since the fruit concentration is a little light this vintage, it’s hard to imagine the oak fading into the background with bottle age. Drink it now to 2016+. Imported by Ste. Michelle Estate, Woodinville, WA.
