Tart apples, pineapple, cantaloupe, dried coconut. short finish. Nice, but I like the non-reserve better

Creamy, but not buttery. Notes of lemon cream pie, but not tarte. Maybe a lemon curd?

A nice Chardonnay coming from Rusack. A winery that I wouldn't look to for a Chardonnay. This was well balanced fruit with crisp apple mid pallet.

Very nice Chardonnay--a bit over-oaked, but that will improve with age.

Dec 21st, 2016One of the most amazing noses of all the Chardonnays in the Santa Yanez Valley. Vanilla cream with a hint of crisp green apple. On the pallet the vanilla cream fades into an amazing balance of fruit. The green apple starts at mid palate to the finish.
