Baked apples, butterscotch, smoke, lemons. Not my style chard, but decent.

Pale gold. Aromatic, crisp apple, and vanilla. Sweet and creamy. Oak integrated well.

Perfect balance of fruit, oak influence, and just enough creaminess. It's really not my type of Chardonnay, but this was a pleaser.

Not my style, but I can appreciate the balanced approach. Enough malo to contrast the oak, varietally specific fruit characteristics; baked apples, butterscotch, wet wood, THIS WARRIOR GAME IS PISSING ME OFF!
