Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Has 1% Viognier added which gives a smoothness. Ripe fruit aromas with notes of osk and spice. On the palate stone fruit flavors with lemon citrus zest adding a sweet creamy tone. Medium finish, good acidity ending with fruit and oaky mineral character. Nice value. Tasting Sample!

Very simple classic Chardonnay. Easy to drink, some butter and nice apple hints. I will be purchasing again.

A rather classic California Chardonnay though the oak is on the lighter side. A pleasant, lingering finish. -- Wineshout

Had it a few days after opening. Was sealed but obviously a little flat. Still refreshing.

They just continue to produce well priced and lovely wines. Crisp and awesome Chard. Not destroyed by oak.

This was a ‘different’ Chardonnay. Had a slight fruit flavor… was served very cold and was excellent.
