Pale lemon in color.

Nice nose, and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing citrus, apples, light oak, light vanilla, spices, earth and herbs.

Nice finish with lemons and light almonds.

This is a very tasty Chardonnay from Mendocino County. Rich and fruit forward. Tangy and interesting.

The high alcohol is not too noticeable.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$20.

Not as buttery as my favorite Chardonnay, but decent. Smooth finish, and a light aftertaste. A true Chardonnay.

Aroma of butter and wheatgrass. Mineral chalky lemony in the middle.

A strange aftertaste and I agree with the previous ratings; very watery.

With little or no oak, this Chard is unleashed so that the fruit can shine through: Gala apples, pears, and a restrained splash of butter. An excellent wine for turkey, steamed vegetables, and eggplant with chow mein.

A lot of apple that clings to your taste buds.

Smooth, a little dry, which I like, great value.

Full disclosure: Husband’s parents bought a house a few years ago and inherited a wine collection so I was not expecting much out of this wine. I was pleasantly surprised though. Not heavy on the oak at all, pretty decent. Best with food.
