Lotta oak in play here. Almost like 1980s Cali Chardonnay. Nose features melted butter and toasted vanilla, with nice underlying stony soil tones. Ripe pear fruit. In the mouth, there’s that oak again in the forefront, but behind it there is some nice fruit and decents acids for a wine that is 14%. Finish is long.

Clear and pale yellow. Mute on the nose. Layered palate with lime, citrus, white stone fruits and crushed white rocks. Rounded palate with medium acidity (6/10) and medium bodied. Nice and dry long finish. Drink till 2021.

Not for me. Light, cloudy gold color. Pineapple and some sort of soft cheese are present in this strange nose. Vegetables and potatoes on the palate with low acidity. Medium finish. I miss my local wine store rep! New guys need to step their game up!
