Another delightful oaked Chardonnay ... this reserve from Hinterbrook spent 13 months in French oak barrels of which a maximum of 20% was new - that means that the barrel notes in the wine are subtle and not in your face. The nose is fruit forward with apple, pear and peach along with hints of vanilla. Palate seems to show more oak with a baked apple core and vanilla-butterscotch finish, [and] there's also just enough spice to keep it interesting ... Score - 4 1/2 Stars (out of 5).
