Looking for a good Chardonnay, you might like this one. Relatively dry with touch of butter and minimal oak but a nice earthy taste and excellent vanilla touch. Notably, the fruit is hard to distinguish. This 2017 opened 2019. A bit better when out of wine cooler about 1hr. Enjoyed with chicken in wine sauce with shallot and dried tomatoes!
