Citrus, green apple and vanilla up front with a nice balanced oak finish. Really good QPR for under $10 at Binny’s. Like that this is made with organic grapes.

2016 vint on 7/2/18. I cannot put my finger on exactly what makes this so different or why I like it more than other Chardonnays. It’s not too buttery but it’s smooth, not too sweet or sweet at all, but not overly dry, acidic. Just try it—it’s worth the trip. A nice find. Will get again. A sipper, good with cheeses, meats even spicy/bold. Hints os asparagus, cut grass melded with(yes) slightly leather aroma and finish.
