93% Chardonnay / 7% French Colombard. Fresh & fruity unoaked Chardonnay with yellow apple and a hint of pineapple. It's off-dry with a high acidity that unfortunately slightly overwhelms the fruit. Overall a good value, for this easy drinking Chardonnay! ($6.5) [6/23/16]

A little bit sweet, but not over the top. Paired well with appetizers and Thanksgiving dinner.

Got as a gift. Best at wine party. Delicious. Easy to drink. No after taste. Smooth. Flavorful. Would repurchase. Best Pinot Noir to date. Changes my mind towards Pinots.

OK for price. A bit sweet. Enough varietal character to get by. Certainly better than most oaked California chards in this price range
