Smooth and well balanced Chardonnay. House wine at upscale restaurants-great price.

On the lighter side- some oak and light butter- more crisp with touch of fruit forward. A touch acidic down the throat.

Sunday home cooking with Harry! A Chardonnay to pair with lemon chicken and Parmesan roasted potatoes.

It's ok. It had more sparkle than I expected from a Chardonnay, but the strength and buttery taste were on par. It was a little bit sour and sharp, and those are not qualities that I usually like in a wine, so I'm giving this a middle rating. My husband liked it less and prefers that we not have it again when we're just sitting at home unwinding.
