Medium lemon color with aromas of stone and citrus fruits with notes of nutty baking spice. On the palate apple and lemon cream flavors with vanilla and nutty oak. Well balanced on medium+ finish ending, a bit creamy with slight oak and mineral spice notes. Nice!!

Heavy oak, not very flowery but slight butter scent and taste. Alright but not the greatest

Dry, smooth, touch of oak but not overwhelming, slightly acidic, mineral aftertaste, a very nice compliment to white fish and scallops.

Peach, green apple, lemon curd, and light vanilla. Balanced acidity. A bit flat on the palate.
Decent, but for about the same price, the estate SB is a much better choice.

Medium lemon-hued. Aromas of brine, butter, minerals, orange peel, peach, pear, and vanilla. Medium body and high acidity. Palate of citrus and oak, with a crisp, acidic finish. Elegant and balanced Chardonnay of the Burgundian style.
