Gold in color.

Oaky nose with vanilla, medicine, cedar, citrus, red apples and white pepper.

Full bodied and buttery with medium plus acidity and nice legs.

Dry on the palate with limes, oak, vanilla, citrus, cream, lemons, bitter herbs, melons and pepper.

Medium plus in finish with limes.

This Chardonnay from California is very Oaky and simple, but drinkable nonetheless. Other than that oak and vanilla it was balanced...

If you are not a fan of oaky Chardonnays, this is not for you.

12.5% alcohol by volume.

Smooth with a little whisper of fruit on the end - not too sweet

Serviceable Chardonnay, not bad for such a low price point. Had it on 7/1/15 with my favorite NY-style Pizza and it went well.

Good butter and fruit balance, should get nicer over time. Wonderful for the price grab it if you see it.
