13’ MacPhail Gap’s Crown Chardonnay. Medium- Bodied
Palate- Yellow/ green apple, pineapple, toasted almond. Hint of vanilla frosting?!?Light oak & acidity. Trying to show off, not typical? Struggling between old world style/new world appeal. Drinking now.

Lots of fruit but not very buttery. Pretty good, though still not a huge fan of whites.
