Somehow I wanted more from it. A tad shy still.

Lovely nose. Clean fruit and fine texture. This was the hit at Thanksgiving.

2012 Palmaz Chardonnay "Amalia." An elegant wine with lovely citrus flavors and tropical fruit. Crisp flavors with a hint of butter and ripe pear.

This wine is good, but at this price point good is not good enough. I feel like their reds are much better, but am never really satisfied with their whites. When Beringer PR and Merryvale are considerably better chards at half the price, we have a problem. I hate being this critical, but it is what it is.

Beautiful pale coloring and a very bright acidic mouthfeel. With food or without this is a great wine. Seamless.
