Pale lemon with aromas of stone and citrus fruits with floral and honey notes. On the palate flavors of peach and pears with honeysuckle, smooth with a creamy texture, lively acidity. Medium+ finish ending with fruit and savory citrus character, no oak aging. Nice value!

It is light but potent enough to gather interest at approximately the rate of—wait I’d have to check my stocks to make a good analogy—but it has a slender body, gracefully bruised apples (bruise but make it art!) lemons and something of a hint at salinity that makes a friendly sip alone or with a munch.

Tasty Chardonnay with a hint of citrus balanced by rich fruit.

Muddled nose of tart Granny Smith apples, green fruit like kiwi / underripe guava & lanolin. Med weight / med acidity w/bitter finish. Surprise at how far this missed the mark
