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 notes. Nice balance with bright acidity on a medium+ creamy 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.

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

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

A nice Chardonnay, a little drier than previous years, but a good price point and I would buy again.

2020 vintage has a bit of a bite and not as smooth as previous tasting. Bottle states notes of coconut, brioche and pineapple, but it tastes more like citrus to me.

Drinking nicely but still a bit oak forward for my taste.
