What a difference a year makes!
This Chardonnay is a pleaser- yellow apples, hints of lees, spring blossoms, a light citrus overtone and even some minerality.
Great texture- starts silky on the tongue then crunchiness fills the mouth then recedes just the right amount to leave enduring flavors of lemon, tart wild apples, chamomile, and mineral.

Starts with a delicate smell of yellow pear and mineral but go deeper and the oak really overpowers.
It's ok, a bit watery, finishes pretty well though and the acidity keeps it refreshing. It's the pinot grigio of chardonnay
