Clean, clear bright pale yellow. Aromas of green and citrus fruit with earthy floral notes. Palate shows crisp apple and mango-lime flavors.  A bit of a buttery finish ended about medium. Very nice !

Fruit forward, but with nice butter and oak notes. Good with BBQ, but the oakiness can be overpowered by the food.

A most delightful Chardonnay. Creamy fruity oakiness with nice complexity, good structure and a clean finish.
