Pale straw in color with a yellow tint.

Nice nose of lemons, mangoes, white flowers, oak, vanilla, melons, red apples, spices, citrus and white pepper.

Medium bodied with medium acidity and nice legs.

Dry on the palate with citrus, lemons, green apples, grapefruits, bitter herbs, oak, spices, vanilla and white pepper.

Medium on the finish with bitter herbs and spices.

This is a nice surprise. This Californian chardonnay is not too oaky and kind of gentle. Well balanced and enjoyable by itself or with food. Showing mild complexity and a soft mouthfeel.

I paired it with caviar, cheeses and crackers.

13% alcohol by volume.

It missing the golden color I adore in Chardonnay. It's also crisper than the buttery ones I prefer

Hints of applea and spice. Sweet and tart at the same time with a dab of citrus scent and taste. Had it cooler than room temperature and still tasty. Will update when chilled.

Does not feel like a typical Chardonnay but we found it pleasing to the palate in a gentler, crisper way.
