July 4th wine. I want to like their Chardonnays but I find them overrated and heavy handed across the board.

Pale lemon. Medium nose with lemon curd, honeysuckle, not quite ripe white peach, and green apple. Medium plus body...a hint of an oily texture, medium acid, medium plus alcohol. Lemon yogurt, green apple, a hint of vanilla and peach. Medium finish. Not at all a buttery, oaky or over ripe Chardonnay, but defiantly has the kiss of the California Sunshine. Nice balance. Perhaps a bit warm on the finish...but I like that.

Only had a sip when it was first opened, and it was screaming with apples, mostly red delicious with a sprinkle of granny smith. (Will revisit tomorrow)
