A bit buttery and creamy, this Chardonnay has some nice pear and peach notes but is ultimately a food wine.

Fresh green apple, pineapple, and lemon zest, nice acidity and balance for price point

I wish these clowns weren't pictured on the label; but otherwise, they are doing it right. Crisp, clean apple and citrus fruit, with an appealing vanilla oak veneer. Whole cluster fermented, sur lees for 7 months, 25% new french oak.
