Vintages Wine Panel: The name Toasted Head refers to the barrels used to age this wine. Usually, only the barrel walls are charred but, in this case, the heads are toasted too. The resulting wine is filled with aromas of smoky apple-cinnamon, pear, vanilla and toasty oak. Full-bodied with a medium-long finish. My note: A rich, buttery, round Chardonnay with terrific persistence of flavors on the palate. Aromas of green apples, pear and baked bread. Full-bodied and luscious. A very socialable wine. This wine is part of the Vintages Essentials Collection.

Chardonnay food pairings: roast pork with apples, a Wellington made with smoked salmon.

Dennis rated this wine as 100/100 with the following review:

Julie and Bruno house Jan 14 dinner party. I liked it

Corinna Horton rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Not a Chardonnay fan, so I sipped reluctantly. What a nice surprise; bight green apple nose with hints of toast and a warm, buttery flavor. I didn't taste the barrel, refreshing for a Californian Chardonnay. It can toast my head any time.

Lynn van der Linde - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Butterscotch, pineapple, buttered toast - a true Chardonnay lover's dream.
