Light gold with aromas of stone fruits and sweet spice. On the palate peach and pear flavors with vanilla and citrus notes. Medium finish ending with lively acidity and some mineral tones.

More oak than I thought. I must have been thinking of the Robert Young.

Nose- Med intensity. Primary aromas of apricot, golden Apple, lemon pie, banana. Secondary flavors of buttery cream, vanilla and brioche. Tertiary flavors of dried apricot and almonds. Dry, high acidity, high alcohol. Quality assessment overall very good/outstanding.

Golden straw, oaky with pear and a nutty finish. Not a bad Chardonnay for the value.
