Founded by Frank Woods in 1974 & better known for its prunes, walnuts and dairy farms than for its wine grapes. Pale straw with aromas of stone and tropical fruits with honey and citrus notes. On the palate apple, sweet melon and lemon flavors with gentle vanilla toasty oak. Well balanced on lingering finish ending with a creamy character. Nice value!

Oaky but not overwhelming. Butter popcorn and vanilla notes. Citrus fruit. Not overly impressed for a Chardonnay, was expecting a bolder, fuller taste. #whitewine #chardonnay #californiachardonnay

I know I shouldn’t like this wine as much as I do, but I do.

Buttery and light. Very nice flavor from the best region.

So much butter on the nose, my heart melts. Citrusy creamy notes, smells so good. First thing on the palette is lemon, and then vanilla, followed by a clean, smooth buttery taste. I. Love. This. Chardonnay.
