Why does this smell and taste like a New Zealand Sauvignon. I don’t trust the bar tender.

Surprised but didn’t love this. Apple and pear notes. Not very buttery like we were expecting.

Strong lemon and peach fruit. Heavy oak on the palate and leather. Clean finish when chilled. So-so.

Sunrise yellow foretelling bright skies and high temperatures. Inviting summer at your doorstep. Sweet smell and noticeable classic deep Chardonnay traditional family tree. Oak/butter/etc. reasonably rich in taste with pleasant staying power. Rise up. Bring it on summer.
