A good party Chardonnay. Not too expensive, fruit forward but not sweet, oak is present but not over board, enough acidity that it held up to a wide variety of food, the label makes it look more expensive... I'd serve this at a party with confidence. I'll buy it again.

Light yellow ‫in color with a golden hue.

Light on the nose with Citrus, apples, melons, wood, white pepper and vanilla.

Full-bodied and buttery with medium acidity, with nice legs.

Dry on the palate with Oak, vanilla, lemons, cream, red apples and melons.

Medium Plus on the finish with lines and bitter almonds.

A basic, simple and typical California Chardonnay. Not interesting, however, not bad or offensive. Not for me.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

Light straw in color.

Fruity on the nose with oak, vanilla, pears, citrus, lime and peaches.

Dry on the palate and creamy with butter, apples, citrus, limes, grapefruit and almonds.

Long finish with a bitter ending.

This is an average California chardonnay very ordinary.

Really good wine, but it leaves a filmy aftertaste. (My Mom drank this whole bottle and I didn't get any so this is technically her review, lol)
