Overly tart and unbalanced. Mild to little flavor but it's sour apple that does show.

A little thin on the nose, with traces of kiwi and Asian pear. Honeysuckle, stone, and sweetened grapefruit on the palate. Nice balance between CA approachability and old world finesse. Tastes like a smoother, sweeter Italian white than a CA chardonnay. Feels a little incomplete but for $13, it's a terrific house white.

Meh. Another bad California butterball with overly buttery flavors, weak oak notes, and an unbalanced acid content.

California Chardonnay in burgundy style. Lack of oak is a nice change of pace and as a result the wine paired well with both mahi mahi and veal tenderloin.
