Typical. Good but not outstanding. A clean crisp Chardonnay which has the right balance for this hot summer day.

Lovely. Light but good mouthfeel. Color was less than straw grass and very pallid. But wonderful citrus especially orange coming through on the front with a medium mineral finish. Not very oaky but some limited buttery elements in the middle. Drinking well so young. It’s definitely early but it still has some bones to show just two years in. This was a fantastic accompaniment to the white fish crudo, seafood risotto and snapper entree.

Stone fruit, minerality with honey starting to come through on the nose. Big and bold white that stands up well on its own.
