Nice golden yellow color. Soft with some citrus, pear and green apple. Light butter and oak.

Clean, clear, light golden yellow with aromas of stone fruits. The palate shows pear and sour apple with spicy notes of vanilla. This medium bodied with shows generous acidity and minerality not typical of CA Chardonnay. The wine was nicely balanced on the finish.

Gold leaning amber. Not getting fruit but plenty of toastiness and perhaps salt. Caramel green apple with a mouthwatering finish. I like it. Especially for the price.

Drier, sharper, oakier than Rombauer, good in a pinch.

Nice Chardonnay, silky and soft. Did notice a perfume note on the finish that lingered. Not very cold, still slightly warm, maybe that altered flavored vs last experience.
