The 2014 Darioush Chardonnay is another exciting release from this estate. Darioush has earned a strong reputation for great Chardonnay over the years and this bottling follows up the excellent 2013 bottling. This wine was aged in 66% new French oak for 12 months prior to bottling. The wine begins with aromatics of creme brûlée, bananas foster, ripe Bartlett pear and suggestions of starfruit. There are flavors of pineapple upside down cake, creme brûlée, Honeycrisp apple and Meyer lemon oil. Lovely richness and depth to this excellent Chardonnay.(Best 2016-2024) - May, 2016 (OB)
