In a word, a “BIG” Chardonnay. Pale with stone and tropical fruit aromas and floral spice. On the palate flavors of apple, apricot, pear & lemon with oak and sweet vanilla spice. Nice mouthfeel, well balanced with lively acidity, long finish ending with toasty oak and mineral character.

v18. Consistently outstanding Chardonnay. Soft vanilla and toast nose. Creamy, pear and tropical fruits. Full, round, soft oak finish. Nicely balanced.

Excellent! A steal at $29. Perfect example of a Cali chardonnay. Pear apple vanilla tropical and touches of oak and butter. Definitely recommend

Nice black currant and cherry jam muted a bit with iron minerality.

As a white - pretty good. A white wine that has some complexity instead of just sugar.

Very oaky and buttery, with a little bitter aftertaste. Babs really liked it.  Quintessential Chardonnay. I realized I need more citrus in my white wines.
