Had this at Summer Shack in Boston with a fresh boiled lobster. The wine was perfect. Nice buttery feel with malolactic fermentation but still good acid and not over oaked. Was almost like a good Montrachet. Really liked it

Hmmpphhh. Oaky, creamy without being buttery. Very subtle fruit and smooth finish. Not what I was expecting but pleasantly surprised.

Crisp not buttery with hints of oak. Melon and other fruit taste. Really like this reasonably priced Chardonnay

Bright fruity aromas. Oaky flavors with notes of apricot. Low residual sweetness with lingering oaky flavors. Smooth finish with low to medium acidity.
