Tasting Notes
Stillwater Creek Vineyard Chardonnay has become a highly sought-after offering from Saviah with limited production and unlimited deliciousness. The wine opens with aromas of Asian pear, stone fruit, honeysuckle, and crème brûlée. Rich flavors of pear, citrus, and pineapple swirl across your palate, held together with juicy acidity and barrel notes of vanilla and toffee.
Drink 2022-2032.
