The nose hints of mushrooms and straw. This is a simple pleasant Chardonnay that could use a touch more acidity.

A light Chardonnay, but still has a good full mouth feel.

Really excellent, beautifully balanced Chardonnay from a terrific winery putting out world class wines. Oak is well integrated and not overpowering like too many California Chardonnays. 2015 vintage.

Good typical VA Chard; apple, spice, oak, citrus on the finish; steel fermented, aged in Neutral oak, similar to French Chards

An excellent balance of stainless and oak. Crisp and refreshing, but still great mouth feel and some of the vanilla flavors from the oak. Love it!

Floral, slight acidity, malolactic fermentation in neutral oak, one of their better efforts among many good efforts
