Super disappointed for the price point. Huge fan of their Pinot. For $45 it should be exceptional. Lands rough on the tongue; lots of tannins. Very bitter. Not what I expect for a chardonnay

Medium body. Medium finish. A little creamy, a little green apple, some citrus.
Awesome with cheese

Wry nice wine: on its own or with food. It paired nicely with a Niçoise salad, and with pan-seared whitefish and a lemon-thyme cream sauce.

Very smooth with melon notes early. Very refreshing. . As it opened up it began tasting more like a traditional California Chardonnay though.
