Pale lemon color with aromas of ripe fruits, citrus, vanilla and nutty scents. On the palate complex flavors of apple, peach, pineapple and Meyer lemon citrus, well balanced with acidity on a nice mouthfeel. Long creamy finish ending with oak, vanilla, mineral and honey citrus notes. A nice Chardonnay, drink now! Pair this with a Halibut in a Beurre Blanc sauce.

Ripe peaches, kumquat, cream friache, pistachio. Noticeable, but restrained Chardonnay winemaking. Enjoy Dutton goldfield wines.

From magnum that had been open a week, very lush, green and tropicals, medium minus acidity, well made and I think better in big bottle.

Apple, lemon, dried apricot, almond, toasted brioche, oak and hints of stone fruit. Good acidity and balance.

This takes me back to the tasting room visit in 2016 on our honeymoon.
A genuine, drinkable, Cali Chard.

A little cork dankness on the initial sniff.
Hot and heavy but only labelled 13.5?

Little alcoholic warmth, but reduced corn and musky/salt odour keep it in the happy scale; the palate is chalky, apricot kernel, millet and coastal California
