Pale lemon with stone fruit aromas and toasty spice. On the palate crisp green apple, pear and peach fruit flavors with floral and vanilla spice. This wine is medium-bodied, with nice buttery mouthfeel, smooth & creamy. Medium+ finish, balanced with lively acidity and fruit adding slight toasty ending. Consistent quality.

I like the butter and oak - but possibly a little too much pineapple-mango tropical fruit / Solero going on

Crisp for a Chardonnay with bright acidity and citrus over oak and pear. Balances well with food.

Pear, brown sugar and tree bark. Not unpleasant but short hot finish.
