Pale lemon color with aromas of citrus fruit adding grassy and floral notes. On the palate flavors of lime, grapefruit and honeysuckle and grassy tones. Medium finish ending herby with grassy mineral tones.

Years ago this wine was better! Medium lemon color, aromas of spice and smoky oak. On the palate light flavors of stone fruits with a punch of oak and spice. Medium(-) finish ending with smoky burnt oak and buttery character. Screw cap!

I normally only drink unoaked Chardonnay but thought I’d try this one. I’m showing off my Key West wine glass because I have a lovely sunset in the front of my house and thunder and clouds at the back of the house! 🤨 this wine has a creaminess to it that I didn’t know wine could have, also lots of citrus and tropical fruit. Very nice. I chose to sit in the back and listen to the thunder with this one. ⚡️

Ripe fruit aromas with notes of spice. On the palate stone fruit flavors with lemon citrus zest adding a sweet creamy tone. Medium finish, ok acidity ending with fruit and mineral character. Ok value. Tasting Sample.

Wonderful; if it just had a little less butter. No oak. Great w/fish.
