Seymour Wine Club Meeting 6/14/14 (Home of David Zanowiak): Tasted blind: This had a very expressive nose of peach, tangerine and some citrus. Nice acidity to it and no oak presence, got some peach, grapefruit and tangerine on the palate as well. Thought for sure this was a Sauvignon Blanc but I have found the unoaked Chardonnay's can be mistaken for Sauvignon Blanc's. Was shocked when the bag came off of this. Never would have suspected Smoking Loon Steelbird. No denying it is a well made wine though.

This is nice. Very light yellow-gold. Little viscosity. Nice pear, apple and citrus in the nose. Very refreshing in the mouth with citrus flavors and fine acidity. Hard not to like this one. 4-11-16-8: 89/100.

Surprisingly good for this price. Nice buttery quality you want in a CA Chardonnay but very little oak and a nice acidity. A nice wine.

straw color, peach and citrus aromas, lighter flavors of peach with a touch of acid on the finish.
