A fine addition to the heat on this Friday. Many butter comments in other reviews, but buttery this vintage is not. Pineapple, lemon, and minerality, though it's not biting. A round, soft mouthfeel that's easy on the acid.

Best Chardonnay I’ve had to date. A lot of butter on the nose and very smooth

2022 Vintage Chardonnay, one of our favorites! Smooth citrus notes of lemon and grapefruit. Delicious with seafood meal!

2021 Vintage is a light Chardonnay that goes well with seafood! Not as buttery as I would like but a great dry wine that I would buy again.

Golden brilliant color.
Pear and lemon zest aromas.
Tart acidity medium bodied, long finish.

I should start by saying that I am not, at all, a Chardonnay drinker. It’s not a grape that I enjoy, but I’ll never turn down a free bottle of anything. That said, this Chardonnay is more enjoyable than most I’ve had. Bright, crisp notes of green and yellow apple, pear, nectarine, and lemon and lime zest. Toast & buttered bread come through on the finish. Sharp, acidic front with a creamy finish that lingers. Subtle caramel and flint.
