Yum. Tastes like a Burgundy version of Chard.

I think the flavor of this wine may be highly attributable to the high grade french oak cooperage. Peaches and cream, cotton candy layered over the citrus and apple notes.

Beautifully well balanced RRV Chardonnay, good lemon curd, and oak balance with no malolactic fermentation. Really excellent with Mahi fillets, and lemon gnocchi. Outstanding value @$12 at local wine/food clearance store

Vanilla. Oak pleasantly pronounced. Pair with fish. Tends to be a bit light
No real butter. Drinks well.

Tasted against 1er cru Chablis. Tropical- guava, papaya, banana, butter, dry, medium acid, good balance. Would buy again.
