Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Has small amount of Viognier added which gives a smoothness. Ripe fresh fruit aromas with notes of floral, oak and spice. On the palate flavors of stone fruit and lemon citrus with a sweet creamy tone. Medium finish, good acidity ending with fruit and oaky mineral character. Nice value.

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.
