Rose like but super light color. Lots of strawberry and bananas on the approach.

Not sure what the Pinot noir is adding to this wine but finish is lacking in character.

I loved this wine. Rich, golden color that comes from blending Chardonnay with Pinot Noir. Oaky Chardonnay notes with a hint of red fruits. Wish I had another bottle to let mature.

The blending of cultivars has brought depth and refinement to this very pleasurable wine.
