In fairness to Ca Chardonnays, I’m not a fan of their Chardonnays. There are few I really enjoy. It’s round & lush on the palate. Bruised apple, pear, lemon, lime, some buttery notes, caramel, toast, dry, crushed, powdery limestone ( a fair amount) cheese cloth, cream, strong volcanics, yellow & white fresh flowers, good round acidity and round somewhat pleasant finish.

Light golden hue with apple, vanilla, and prominent lees notes on the nose. Fairly light and lively on the palate compared to typical Napa Chardonnay without evidence of buttery notes from malolactic fermentation.
