Light golden in color.
Fruity nose of citrus, tropical fruits, lemons, white pepper, minerals, spices, herbs, green apples, grapefruits and grass.
Medium bodied with medium plus acidity and nice legs.
Dry on the palate with lemons, citrus, green apples, grapefruits, bitter herbs, spices and minerals.
Medium plus in finish with bitter almonds.
This Unoaked Chardonnay from California is refreshing and crisp.
Showing mild complexity on the nose. Nicely balanced, but a little bitter for my taste, which some liked. Better than last time I had it.

Pale lemon in color with a green hue.
Strong nose of citrus, lemons, apples, melons, light wood (apparently), spices and black pepper.
Full bodied and buttery with medium acidity and nice legs.
Dry on the palate with lemons, grapefruits, citrus, yellow apples, wood, bitter herbs, light vegetables, spices, cream and black pepper.
Medium finish with bitter almonds and herbs.
This Unoaked Chardonnay from California is drinking nicely. Not fully balanced, spicy and simple. I definitely got hints of wood and spices (although it is Unoaked?).
A good pool wine, but goes well with food too. Refreshing when properly chilled.
I paired it with a grilled chicken salad.
