Fruit and acid. Mellon rind. Quite drinkable yet not soulful.

This was photo of Chardonnay. Excellent acid with exquisite complexity and minerality. Most exciting Chardonnay since the one I sipped from Dawn's lips.

My kind of Chardonnay. Little sweet and fairly well rounded

Light straw and clear. Pleasant floral nose with a hint of petrol. Pear, minerals, and melon on the palate with medium acid finish. A muted but drinkable chard.

Warning! I am not a huge white wine drinker but the weather in Houston dictates I have something a little more lite and chilled. This wine lacks a powerful nose but I get a lite hint of floral and citrus. On the palate it screams lemon (in a great way) along with some peach and a slight amount of creaminess. A very nicely balanced wine that is not over-oaked or over extracted. Great for a late spring day in H-town.

Let the weekend begin. Lots of citrus flavors like Meyers lemon and grapefruit, along with a hint of oak. Nicely crisp with great acidity.
