I really enjoyed this Chardonnay and found it to be much more enjoyable than previous vintages. The 2015 features more floral notes of pineapple and tropical fruit that is balanced with crisp acidity with a dry but long finish. 2014 seemed to be a little unbalanced and was a little overwhelming with Granny Smith apple and high acidity that was just a little much. This year has been brought back into balance.
