Nice coastal Chardonnay! Aged in French oak. It's oaky and creamy with a good balance of acidity. Great to drink alone, with cheese, fish or poultry. Really enjoyed this wine for the price. Cheers!

I bought this based on recommendation from wine lady at store because I liked La Crema Chardonnay. She said this is balanced and more of the buttery side but I found it more crisp than buttery. It's good but not my favorite.

Great value, kind of an upped La Crema Sonoma. Slightly off balance on the sweet side, but is benefited greatly if put through an aerator.

Oaky but not over-poweringly so. Tangy and citrusy
