Sunshine yellow with aromas of ripe stone fruits and citrus zest. In the palate sweet peaches and candy apple flavors with orange rind notes. Well balanced with zesty acidity, medium finish ending with some floral notes. Very Nice. Tasting Sample.

Nice elegant Chardonnay showing sense of place. The tropical flavors give away the Central Coast locale. The backbone and structure suggest an influence from burgundy. Nice job Brian!

This vintage shows more oak than in prior vintages. Big, bold, version of California chardonnay. Missing the elegance of last year. Still enjoyable. Just me splitting hairs.

This was my jam. A Chardonnay for people who don't drink Chardonnay. Strong oak flavors but light and not very buttery.
