Star bright yellow gold. Baked yellow apple, dried honey, tropical fruits, and a hint of vanilla on the nose and palate. Medium full body. Medium acidity. A wonderfully fruity yet subdued California Chardonnay. Great with food (chicken cordon bleu, anyone?) and by the glass.

Tried the 2014 vintage. Golden yellow color with stone fruit and oily aromas with pungent spice. The palate shows basic stone fruits with citrus tang, but was overshadowed by oak and heavy oily spice. The wine was out of balance. I have now tasted the 12, 13 and now the 2014 and they are consistently unpleasant. At $20, there are a ton of better Chardonnays out there at comparable prices. Pass. Tasting Sample.

Sep 4th, 2016Clear medium yellow color. Aromas of tropical fruits. The palate shows basic stone fruits with heavy spice. The wine was out of balance with oak and acidity. The finish was short. Tastes like an $10 Chardonnay. Pass.
