This is a slightly tart white, with muted lemon tones and some grassiness to the body. It is mercifully light on oak, soft and just a little buttery. The balance is good for a Chard.

This Chardonnay has a creamy mouthfeel with a sharp, tart lemon zest flavor. It is neither buttery nor oaky, and would most likely make a good food wine.

The nose has citrus, almond, and cotton candy notes. The palate has apricots, almonds, citrus, and buttery notes. Fantastic with shrimp, salmon, and The Black Panther on the projector in surround sound.

Very enjoyable chilled. Crisp not dry. No bitter or oaky aftertaste. Delightful. Would definitely buy again.
