Clone 809 ("Musque"), unrecognizable as Chardonnay, this could pass for a round, viscous Torrontes. Interesting.

This is a different kind of chardonnay. Not buttery. Not crisp. No heavy oak. Hints of honey. Smooth. Nice body.

Oct 14th, 2016Highly aromatic wine with great flavors of apricot and honeysuckle and a beautiful orange blossom finish.

Jun 29th, 2016Yellow. Straight-up lychee nose. Fairly heavy, smooth, sweet body. Lychee, pineapple, honeysuckle, mineral only insomuch as it keeps this from being one-dimensional. Not bad, but a bit of an off taste. Understandable for $10/bottle.

Feb 27th, 2016Rich gold color. Nose of honey, tropical fruits, green apple, a bit of vanilla, a hint of mineral, and a heavy richness, perhaps oak. Medium body and acid, smooth, almost oily. Nice balance of sweetness and acid on the tongue, and that smooth honey vanilla covers it all with a very pleasant richness. I like this!

Jan 18th, 2016Not usually a fan of Chardonnays, but this is refreshing and not buttery at all. Great option for those of us that don't like buttery heavy Chardonnays.
