This was a delicious surprise. It was all mandarin citrus and crisp, balanced goodness. Recommended.

Nice standard expression of chardonnay with some buttery richness while maintaining acidity. Tropical, rich, but not cloying.

Very elegant, and balanced. Initially poured it cold from fridge and was ok, but improved dramatically as it warmed some.

Straw green-gold on the clear side. Slate minerals,lemon zest and hint of sour apricot nose. Tiny bit of light olive oil on the front of the palate dissipates quickly. Lime takes over mid- palate and lingers strong and long. Would be excellent with mussels, smoked fish, crudités and artichokes
