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
2019 vintage

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.

Mar 23rd, 2019Very smooth with melon notes early. Very refreshing. . As it opened up it began tasting more like a traditional California Chardonnay though.

So, hmmmm This wine was on the dry side of the Chardonnay spectrum. I was expecting a creamy rich killin chard. It was good but not at all what I expected. Especially for the price, I was disappointed. However, the sauvignon blanc was everything I expected the chard to be and more affordable. For the price of the Chardonnay I would by 2 Sauvignon Blancs any and everyday.
