Pale lemon with aromas of nice ripe stone fruit and spice notes. On the palate apple, peach and tropical fruit flavors with a nice dollop of citrus and oak. Well balanced, fresh lingering finish ending with creamy mineral character. Nice. Tasting Sample.

Drank 3/38/18. Tasting event. Tasting pour.

Pear and a hint of toast on the lighter nose. Well rounded flavors of pear, vanilla, and some tropical fruit. Some buttery notes on the finish.

2/22/8/4/3 +50 = 89

Not over manipulated, decent pedigree - very typical Cali style, just not memorable

A strange tasting Chardonnay. Maybe getting old? Not the buttery that I like.

Honey up front, nose as well. Mellow sweetness with a good dry back at the end.

Bright, with just a hint of soft vanilla to tame acidity. Lemon cookie and sweet, crisp apple. Quite nice.
