Begins with exceedingly rich aromas of burnt carmel and buttery pie crust soon as it's poured. Surprisingly bright on the pallate with flavors of yellow apple and pear, finishing with a nice creaminess reminiscent of creme fraîce. Overall, the oak slighty overpowers some of the nuanced flavors but it still paired well with fresh herb encrusted salmon, and lovely outside meal! ($9) [6/4/2017]

Pale lemon in color with a yellow tint.

Oaky on the nose with wood, vanilla, smoke, lemon and spices.

Full bodied and buttery with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with grapefruits, cream, limes, lemons, melons, citrus, light peaches, spices and white pepper.

Medium finish with cream.

A drinkable Chardonnay from California. Nice and simple, but too Oaky for my taste.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

It's okay. A bit too pinot grigio for me. Higher acid, bit of prickly fizz.

Sl oak, apple fig nose, pours light yellow. Refreshing and reasonably priced. Like it!

Light, apply, slight alcoholic taste in the back. I really like this wine.
