The 2018 Chardonnay Lewis MacGregor Estate Vineyard has a powerful expression this vintage, with gregarious aromas of quince paste, honeycomb and baked apples plus loads of spicy accents. Medium-bodied, it's rounded with explosive, savory flavor layers, bright freshness and a long, flavorful finish.
