A bit of extracted almond/marzipan. Medium size and cream. A bit too dessert-y for me.

Love that this is not your typical buttery, oaky CA Chardonnay. Lots of fruit on this one. Almost a slight apple or pear on this one. Good to open on a hot day.

Great addition to my pumpkin pear soup. Hints of fruit like guava with a buttery finish.
