Pale lemon color with aromas of ripe fruits, citrus, honey and nutty scents. On the palate flavors of apple, pear and lemon citrus, cinnamon notes, well balanced with acidity. Medium+ finish ending with nutty spice, mineral and citrus notes.

Utterly lacking in flavor. I wanted to like it. I did not. 2022. But I bet that doesn’t matter.

Pale lemon in color.

Fruity nose of citrus, lemons, honeydew, light oak, honeysuckle, apples, light vanilla and spices.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with lemons, apples, ripped pears, oak, vanilla, spices and white pepper.

Nice length on the finish with lemons.

This is a very tasty Chardonnay from Russian River Valley. Easy drinking and good by itself. A good sipping wine.

Nicely balanced with a nice creamy mouthfeel.

Good right out of the bottle and better after 30 minutes of airtime.

A great value and good by the pool or beach.

I paired it with cheeses and crackers.

100% Chardonnay grapes were aged in 75% French and Hungarian Oak barrels. Aged on its lees for 6 months.

14% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$16.

Light straw color. Aromas of ripe pear, tropical fruits and white flowers. Ripe pear and apple flavors with notes of toffee, orange zest with a slight hint of salted butter on the long finish. Medium-plus body with a creamy texture. Certainly reasonable if not outstanding. Thanks for opening Keith S!

Served at Tommy Bahamas in Palm Desert 2023. Very enjoyable to drink… light and crisp.
