Pale lemon, simple wine with stone fruit aromas carries to palate with ripe apple and pineapple flavors. Nothing harsh about this wine which should please a crowd at a holiday party or BBQ. Not complex, drink now. Good value.

A nicely balanced Chardonnay from Russian River Valley, California.

Showing citrus, oak, vanilla, spices, toast, green apples, herbs and white pepper.

Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity.

Showing mild complexity and a nice mouthfeel. Not too oaky which I liked.

14% alcohol by volume.

87 Points.

$17.

White peach, baked apple, and some tropical fruit aromas come together on this rich but balanced style of Sonoma chardonnay. It’s a little bit hot—go for a bolder pairing. Extended lees aging.

It’s a work out of the office kind of day.... Denver roadshow type.
Light butter light oak.... not overpowering....

Clean and fright. The nose has a lot going on: elderberry and white peach. Lots of clean acidity on the approach, a little owl on the mid palette integrates with the fruit; and a lingering minerality on the finish.

Nice Chardonnay from Russian River Valley. Nice layering of green apple and pear. Would buy again.

Pear and mango notes. I’m a red wine fan but this is complex enough to hold my interest.
