Initially I was really impressed with this Chardonnay and its price point. The Carneros region is one of my favorites and it was buttery right from the start which I loved. It's full-bodied with a little toast and apple on the nose but there's a pungency and acid that's slightly harsh; it might have been better earlier because I had paired it with my Dinner which toned down the acid and bite. I do like it and will serve it with food or charcuterie to keep that at bay!

Good, not oakey at all, but haven’t confirmed whether it’s officially un-oaked.
