Pale straw color. Bouquet of vanilla, green apple and lemon rind. Big Napa style Chardonnay dominated by malolactic butter and sweet oak. Full-bodied palate has meyer lemon and green apple. Not overly complex but very pleasing and large. A wonderful summer wine which will pair well with rich seafood dishes or creamy risotto. Medium acidity with a long oak finish. This wine is drinking very well right now, but I would not hold much longer.

Light yellow color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of pear, apple and lemon. Flavors of lemon, creme and green apples. Medium acidity, full bodied. Drink or hold.

I will give this even more credit now that I have had it at home. Tropical fruits, lead to vanilla, on the nose, a rich textured palate with creme brûlée and oak lead tow lasting finish. Not for the feint of heart. It's is a big full malolactic fermentation California Chardonnay that has its place. Easy to drink on its own. Enjoy.

A good inexpensive Chardonnay. Somewhere between Chablis and big bodied California styles. This one is simple tropical fruit with some tasty sweet oak that goes down nice and refreshing. For $29 its a steal.

Straw colored in hue, lemon curd on nose, well balanced creamy vanilla ML and acid, still drinking nicely.

Not overly complex, but for what it is, a nice version. Smooth and buttery, with sweet oak. Paired well with numerous seafood dishes we sampled.
