Sourced from vineyards high above Alexander Valley, the wine was light straw yellow color, fresh and crisp with citrus and stone fruit aromas, slightly floral. The palate showed peaches, apple and pear flavors, with lemon, oak and mineral notes, lively acidity and balance with the touch of vanilla. The 2014 was a bit creamier than the 2013. The finish was about medium with a good mouthfeel and ended with toasty oak notes. A delightful and refreshing Chardonnay at a good value!

Vanilla and oak makes for a quite different but satisfying Chardonnay. Balanced overall and clean with a bit of apricot, but mostly toasted vanilla.
