Key-lime and stone fruit with a high acidity - pairs well with grilled scallop.

While I love the rich, buttery nature of most California chardonnays, I realize some people do not. This unoaked one is a great choice for those people. It’s got the depth and complexity of a typical CA chardonnay; however, the lack of the often overpowering butteriness means additional flavors and mineralities are more easily discerned.

Absolutely one of the best Chardonnays I've had. Very reasonably priced. Not a huge white fan normally but this is great. Not oak. Just smooth.
