Excellent balance of oak and fruit. Great value for under $10.

This is a nice Chardonnay from Sonoma County. Grapes were grown about 20 miles from the Pacific Ocean, which kept them cooler than in other adjacent areas in Sonoma .
Light yellow in color.
Fruity nose with lemon, grass, grapefruit, citrus, vanilla and toasted oak.
Dry on the palate and refreshing with cedar, vanilla, citrus and lime.
Medium to full bodied.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
I actually liked this interesting Chardonnay. Will buy it again.

Begins with exceedingly rich aromas of burnt carmel and buttery pie crust soon as it's poured. Surprisingly bright on the pallate with flavors of yellow apple and pear, finishing with a nice creaminess reminiscent of creme fraîce. Overall, the oak slighty overpowers some of the nuanced flavors but it still paired well with fresh herb encrusted salmon, and lovely outside meal! ($9) [6/4/2017]

Purchased on sale, great bargain. Little bit of butter with some pear. Great year for Sonoma county.

Pours yellow in color. ON THE NOSE: vanilla, apples and a hint of pear and butter. ON THE PALATE: pear and apple. Medium body and finish.
