Dec 2nd, 2024Bright and crisp fragrance of stone fruit with stronger notes of apricot.
Drinks really nicely with a fresh and crisp taste, that is a bit “steely”, with subtle buttery notes. Flavor wise, it’s very fruit forward tasting of apricot, vanilla, straw and something floral.
Was on sale at Costco for $12. Great deal for summer drinking.

Nice balanced Chardonnay hints of apple & cream & subtle oak. Great value too.

Exotic fruit nose. Very rich with flavors of apricot, peach, and tropical fruit. Buttery and oaky. Long rich finish.
Not a typical Chardonnay.
