July 2, 2014 - Mostly American Wines; 7/2/2014-7/6/2014: Pale yellow color. Nose of dried apricot and pineapple, some serious honeyed tea and green herb elements, a kick of minerals, Tangy and lively on the palate, the green and yellow apples taste tart and crunchy. Also some lime and pineapple, a taste of lime peel, saline, white tea, chalk and herbal tea aspects. A much more tart and mineral-driven style, and quite impressive if you’re into this kind of Chardonnay. Aged in old oak with no maloactic fermentation.

June 28, 2013 - Consumed over 2 hours. Solid, unspectacular, baseline CA chardonnay. Somewhat indistinct tropical/apple fruit on the palate with a twist of lemon. Aged in neutral oak with no malo, leaving a decent amount of acid. A good CA option in the <$15 category if you can find it there.
