Pale lemon with aromas of stone and citrus fruit, herb and mineral notes. On the palate flavors of ripe apple, pear and lemon citrus flavors, extremely savory on medium+ finish ending with fruit, floral spice and mineral character.

Apple, pithy lemon, honey, hay, slate, oak and hints of dried apricot. Good acidity and minerality.

This is my kind of CA Chardonnay, balanced and subtle on the oak. Boom.

Absolutely tasty. Rich, citrusy and finishes nicely. Refreshing on what was a brutally hot day in Albany, NY... #Chardonnay
