8.1

Lovely Chardonnay from Firestone Vineyards. Lots of bright tropical notes, vanilla and oak integrated well---full bodied to the point of being creamy but with enough acidity to pair well with an array of foods. Great value wine.

Way more citrus taste than I expected, hint of oak, and a bite of acid at the end.

Way too much oak and vanilla for me- almost cloying.
