Not bad, but not great either. Candied pineapple, buttered popcorn, and touch of peach. Smooth, but not really lively. Let's just say It's a serviceable chardonnay.

I love this chard. Very crisp and clean with melon, slight apple, and honey. Very nice.

Rich minerals on the pallet with an essence of peach and lemon curd.

Really enjoyed this. Fruity and buttery with minerality and acidity as well. . It's a California Chardonnay and a French Chardonnay hybrid. Great French Chardonnay for California chard drinkers.
