Very interesting wine, 100% Chardonnay but doesn't taste like one. I was expecting a typical Chard but got somewhere resembling a cross between a Viognier, Riesling and Gruner. Wine spent 3 months in the tank on Viognier lees and another 3 months on oak. Aromas of tropical fruits, notes of honey and sweet spice. On the palate peach and honey flavors, no noticeable oak and low acidity. Full-body, creamy ending.

Can't give this a rating in the 9s because although it's a delightful crisp white, there's nothing outstanding about it for me. To me this is a great wine to buy in bulk for a big party. Safe and cheap.
