Medium lemon color with aromas of stone fruits with oaky floral spice and yeasty notes. On the palate flavors of apple and pear with oak and spice. Medium finish, high acidity ending with buttery oaky fruit character. Ok but a bit too much oak!

Classic elegance and depth, serious richness—apple, butter, vanilla, toasted nuts. Wow

Opening a bottle, the color is a bright golden straw with aromas of stone and tropical fruits with some floral spices. On the palate crisp pear and lemon zest with a touch of sweet floral spice. Nicely balanced with acidity, the finish is about medium and ends with citrus mineral notes. Drink now for its freshness! Great value on this Chardonnay!

No malolactic fermentation, not too creamy, slightly herbaceous. A great Chardonnay.
