The name Karia is derived from a word meaning graceful and it is the very character that we seek most in this wine. Crafted in large part with grapes from our estate vineyards, the wine is refreshing, light and graceful on the palate, with bright acidity supporting rich fruit flavors and a mere butterfly kiss of oak. WA 90 The 2016 Chardonnay Karia is scented of green apples, lemons and orange blossom with a waft of peach kernels and lightly browned toast. The medium to full-bodied palate is understated and well poised, with satiny texture and good expression.- Lisa Perrotti-Brown
