Citrusy nodes, felt some orange and light lime on the tongue. Very smooth finish. Overall I really enjoyed this one!

At first I smelled vegetal … not sure why. When I tasted it, was a little intense. Tasted apple at first, with a pear after taste. After the first sip, was very enjoyable. It was smooth.

I’m getting citrus and fruity notes from this one. I am surprised I like this. It has a light body and is easy to drink. Yay

Very different flavor than other Chardonnays, earthy undertones, smooth on the finish, pear hints

Clear but prominent yellow coloration with a clean aroma of lemon and possibly pear. Medium acidity and sweetness balanced by an enjoyable smooth grassy and lemon taste. Slightly oaky with a notable smooth finish.
