Melon, Apple. Orange, butter popcorn. Oaky finish with some minerality. Rich mouthfeel and not overwhelming oak.

Medium body and rich concentration of fruit... overtones of apples and pears with a wonderful nose and mouth feel. new oak creates a lingering finish. (Back label)

Great summer white for a great price, we enjoyed it served overly cold

Modern style with spicy oak accents, vanilla, toast, butter trying desperately for elegance, but represents a great value vis-a-vis price.

File under "book club chardonnay". Easy, uncomplicated yet also somewhat unexpected. Low on the butter, vanilla, oak and flowers. Higher on the chalk and melon rind. Less overtly mineral than a classic Sancerre but stands out among your typical $15-ish CA chardonnays. Old dog. New tricks.
