Aromas of tart stone fruits with oaky scents. Apple and Asian pear flavors with citrus zest and smoky tones. Medium finish ending with strong toasty oak notes. Just ok, nothing special, too oaky. Tasting Sample.

Super good for the price. Buttery, rich and subtle. If you like this you'll love Carmenet, also a decent price.

Tastes like coconut and vanilla. Anyone like ice cream sundaes?

Medium yellow color. Tropical and vanilla on nose. Oak With something I can’t distinguish.. maybe some salinity? Bright pineapple. Then rich buttery creaminess. Slight vanilla into an oak finish. Slightly dry

Smooth and buttery! I like the vanilla and apple flavors- not too strong.

My Chardonnay loving friends insisted I try this wine. They first tried it when our local grocers went out of business and each of us went and left with a grocery cart full of new wines to try. (No judgement please/the cashier said there were people with 2 full carts and we are talking 70%off). Since I do not work in the wine business it was the perfect opportunity to try new things πŸ˜‰. I am rambling....sorry.
Highly recommend this wine. It has some lovely fruit, primarily lemon. This wine would be a crowd pleaser at any party as it is smooth, balanced, and refreshing. Great QPR.
