Pale lemon with aromas of stone and tropical fruits and notes of honeysuckle. On the palate flavors of ripe peach and apricot with notes of citrus. Medium+ finish, lively acidity ending with fruit and mineral character. Just Ok!

A good amount of ripe tropical fruit hints of buttered toast and vanilla spice

Always a winner in my book! Seductive nose of apricot, cream, oak, and tree fruits.. palate is lush with a honeyed texture, creamy body, and an almost lemon meringue pie-like finish.

TCV. A bit flabby, not enough acid

Pure, long, and balanced. Creamy tree fruit of substantial flesh, with a clean and bright finish. Styled as generous Pouilly-Fuisse.

It was a good Chardonnay. Very balanced I was expecting a little more butter/oak but over all a well balanced wine. This one will simply come down to price point.
