Great fruit and floral nose. Ave viscosity. Fruit confirmed on pallet with good balance of acid. Smooth finish too. Touch of oak.

Tropical fruits dominates the nose, with hint of honey. Feels rich and buttery on the palate with bitter finish.

2014 vintage and one of my current go-to everyday Chardonnay. Great value in a chard with some oak and butter elements but not so much that the grapes take a back seat to 'fix it in the mix' mentality. A good sipping wine, and one that opens up when it warms up a bit in the glass. Pour it and taste it, then let it sit for ten minutes and taste it again. You may find, like I did, that it improves as it 'de-cools' in the glass.
