A deliciously fruity French style Chardonnay, no heavy buttery-ness. Loved it!

Citrus and some pear, a little more tropical fruit like pineapple possibly? Also got some creaminess and toastyness.
Warmer climate unoaked chard in the Côte d’Or style.

Secondary assessment - 2012 vintage tasted Feb 2015. Tasting substantially better than a year ago. Has the beautiful lemon, orange peel, faint green apple. Wine Spectator would not appreciate this balanced wine. Flavor profile changes considerably as temp changes. I enjoy the 2012 Gavilán much better than the 2012 Chalone Estate right now in its journey. This doesn't have the Chalone petrol. Very clean.
