This is a nice sipper. Showing citrus, apples, pears, pineapples and honey.
Light to medium in body with medium acidity, and light sweetness.
I've had this Unoaked Chardonnay from many vintages, and this vintage is the best so far.
Good by itself or with food. Great for the pool.

Mar 3rd, 2020This is a nice unoaked Chardonnay from California. I've tried it a few times from different vintages, and for some reason I always get some oak and vanilla on the palate.
Showing citrus, lemons, red apples, pears, spices, light oak and light vanilla.
Medium-bodied with medium acidity.
Dry to off dry on the palate.
Nice length on the finish with almonds.
A good everyday wine and better with food. A good pool wine too.

The wine tried to mimic French Chardonnay but did a poor job. The wine had too much lemon flavor and not much else. The finish leaves quickly. Pass, better Chards out there at comparable prices. Tasting Sample.
