Medium lemon color with aromas of stone fruit, floral, spice and citrus. On the palate apple, pineapple and pear flavors, with lemon zest, vanilla and toasty biscuit notes, smooth texture. Nice balance with bright acidity on a medium+ creamy buttery finish, savory with spicy flinty mineral ending.

Dry. Slight bite. No after taste.

Really nice oaky flavor, but not too strong. Decent body, but not overwhelming, as most Chardonnays can be. We will definitely buy this one again, considered making it one of our standards.

This is the retail label which is a napa brand. The silver label you see in the restaurants is from the central coast.

2023 vintage with notes of vanilla, pineapple and coconut. Smooth finish and a nice summer wine! Full body and creamy on the palate!

Expansive melony aftertaste-a little too much to start; better after it breathed.

Not as smooth as I remembered -trying again- but ok.
