My current favorite #chardonnay, cross between a mineral infused white burgundy and a lightly oaked buttery Santa Barbara Chardonnay. Medium body with good mouthfeel and weight, nice tight green apple finish

Really aggressively oaked. Probably popular and decently priced for that style of wine.

Banana cream pie, pineapple, tropical notes. Oak is not overdone. Still young, finish will improve over time.

Banana, pineapple, and very young. Can see this developing a very nice creamy texture as it ages
