Had this with Janine. We loved it. Such a delicious non oaky chardonnay.

Pear and spice on the nose and intense candy tartness on taste. A hint of oak but nothing to shout about.

Very poised full body Chard - nice citrus fruit with a pleasant zing at the end done just right. Good stuff!

Lemon and green apple predominate with a little kiss of oak. Medium bodied and nice enough as a value wine.

On the light side with honey and some lemon zest notes. Clean the the finish. For a $14 wine it delivers well.
