Golden straw color with tropical fruit aromas and spice. The palate shows basic stone fruits with lemon tang. The wine tried to mimic French Chardonnay but did a poor job. The wine had too much lemon flavor and not much else. The finish leaves quickly. Pass, better Chards out there at comparable prices. Tasting Sample.

Good easy drinking wine to have with some fruit and bread. Not fancy but a great wine to have poolside with light fare. Great for entertaining a group because of the price.

Really a great showcase of tropical and flower flavors unburdened by oak. I prefer it to the oaked version.
