In a word, a “BIG” Chardonnay. Pale with stone and tropical fruit aromas and floral spice. On the palate flavors of apple, apricot, pear & lemon with oak and sweet vanilla spice. Nice mouthfeel, well balanced with lively acidity, long finish ending with toasty oak and mineral character.

Excellent! A steal at $29. Perfect example of a Cali chardonnay. Pear apple vanilla tropical and touches of oak and butter. Definitely recommend

Nice black currant and cherry jam muted a bit with iron minerality.

As a white - pretty good. A white wine that has some complexity instead of just sugar.

Very oaky and buttery, with a little bitter aftertaste. Babs really liked it.  Quintessential Chardonnay. I realized I need more citrus in my white wines.
