Quite a lot of oak. Vanilla, baked apple, nutty and nice acid. Lots of oak, but was tamed with food.

Really lovely Chardonnay at this price point. Lighter in style than your average California Chard.

Good solid chardonnay enjoyed this with grilled scallops and halibut. Flavors of lemongrass and cedar.

As a member of Foxen's wine club, it's always a welcomed sight when a shipment arrives! This came in my last shipment, and I couldn't resist. Big tropical fruit that's not too buttery or oaky with great balance make this Chardonnay a winner. ~$32 | #foxen #santamariavalley #chardonnay
