Straw yellow with stone fruit aromas and oak spice. On the palate apple and hints of peach flavors with some vanilla spice. Big acidity, a bit harsh with an alcohol presence. Pass, not worth it. Tasting Sample.

Solid, would buy it again. Nothing spectacular but went well with chicken quesadilla

Since I'm not a big white wine drinker (but I'm trying) and I really haven't had a Chardonnay that I like, it was suggested that I try one that was aged in a steel barrel vs one that was aged in an oak barrel. Delicious!! I love this one! It went very well with bread, cheese, shrimp on the grill and salad. I will definitely buy this one again!

Oakey and fruit forward. The berry flavors are not masked by the smooth oakey and vanilla nuances. Nicely balanced Cabernet.
