This is a fine companion wine to Hogue's less-expensive “regular” Chardonnay. It shows the same luscious, tropical/citrus fruit flavors, the added layers of caramel and vanilla, the spicy finish. Just a bit more punch and power to it, and along with all that, a certain youthful tightness that suggests another half-year of cellar time is in order.
