Understated with just enough complexity to make you keep on digging in which is good as with time you’ll find more layers. It’s the person in the very simple black slip dress that’s offbeat enough to make you strike up a conversation. Maybe you’ll take that dress off maybe not but you won’t be sad about the time you spent with the person wearing it.
Oh shit tasting notes? It looks lightly golden and tastes of golden apples but they were peeled up with lime zest. And some pineapple juice. The new oak (40%) lurks in the back but it’s a pleasant addition.

This wine is not overly complex. It isn't a thinker, or a 10+ example of California Chardonnay. What it is, is a very balanced, well rounded chardonnay, absolutely meant to have at the table with a good meal. Perfect touch of oak and light malo nuance, and comforting feelings from the glass. It was AMAZING with Salmon Tartar, and Potato Leak Soup - First meal cooked of 2018! #amiciwines

Delicate creme brulee. Not my style, but this is good for what it's trying to achieve.

Oct 10th, 2017Bright straw with stone fruit aromas and citrus notes. On the palate apple, pear and melon flavors with lemon zest. Some subtle savory oak tones with spice carry this rich Chardonnay to a lingering finish. Nice value.

A typical Sonoma Coast AVA Chardonnay, uplifting acidity, baked pear, and some hint of ripen tropical fruits. Feels just a touch of custard cream and subtle toasted nuts. Dry enough to keep sipping and pairing with roasted veggies and light fish appetizers.
