A small-batch brandy made from California wine grapes, the producer says that each batch is different; this one is made with Chardonnay grapes, aged for at least two years in American and European oak barrels and bottled at cask strength. The end result is pleasing vanilla sweetness on the nose that suggests cookie dough. The palate opens with a flicker of orange peel, drying to an astringent midpalate, and finishes quite fiery, with clove, vanilla and black pepper.
