Beautiful! Showing melon and Meyer lemon characters, subtle oak use with no butter/MLF notes. A fantastic, lighter example of a Russian River Chardonnay.

Not overly acidic, not bitey or harsh, NOT buttery. Great for a snowy Fri night with ratatouille!

Butterscotch and caramel dominate the palate, stealing away attention from the acidity and citrus that could have made this wine great if it has been more balance. Then again, for sub $30 it's not horrible value.

We were pleasantly surprised with this wine. We drank it while we ate cioppino. It's not your typical Chardonnay. We tasted just the right amount of oak, low on acidity and picked up pineapple notes too. It reminded us of a 2012 Lioco Chardonnay we had when we dined at Coi.
