A pretty good California Chardonnay. Lightly toasty buttery scents, and lots of minerality. Lean and savory in style. Good acidity and a nice finish, but I’d rather have a good quality Maconnais, to be honest.

Go Clones! Nice chard, tropical fruit, touch of oak and nicely aromatic. Hard to put the glass down, even while cooking!

Color of bubbly gold. Nose is nutty, some oak, with some ripe fruit. Taste is nutty, peppery, a bit salty mineral, quite light. Aftertaste of long finish mineral and grapefruit zest. Terroir oriented Chardonnay.

Just enough oak, just enough acidity, just enough creaminess, more tropical notes than I prefer for a chard, especially Sonoma coast.....just enough points

Fruit forward, not over-oaked, rounded and balanced.
