Beautiful gold color. Great oak. Tropical fruits. Nice acidic balance. Good finish.

A crowd pleaser and very easy drinking. Straddles that difficult gulf of quality, consistency, and approachability. A little more tropical fruit flavor in later vintages, but not overly oaky, vanilla or sweet like other $17-20 competitors. Not as smooth as Cuvasion (our fave peer) and no minerality or earthy flavors, but hearty enough to eat with white meat and has a nice rich mouth feel.

i found this to be an unusually complex chardonnay. Not particularly fruit forward, pear and light citrus. Much more pronounced is the vanilla and caramel towards the back which bit of herb right at the end. I liked this wine, especially at a $13 price point.
