A little bit lighter style. The restrained acidity is swapped for the fruit that sings beautifully. Probably better as a great quaffer than paired with food, although might pair well with less hearty food. Great choice at this price point.

Nice translucent straw color. Almond and citrus on the nose. Nice and smooth, well balanced. Citrus, lemon, honey and slightly tart on the palate. Nice, smooth tart finish.

Rich yellow color. Yummy aromas of yellow apples, juicy pineapple, some lemon curd, with nuances of buttered biscuits, honey, tropical blossoms, with some hay and almond skin. The palate sports a delightful creaminess and moderate acidity, with a fun feel and pleasant balance. Yellow apples, kiwi, and lemon curd fruit, a fresh and juicy appeal, with notes of almond, bruised apple, nougat, along with some salty, floral complexities. Classic stuff, crowd-pleasing for sure, but balanced and delicious. Aged in stainless steel and 30% French oak.

Excellent QPR @16 at Total Wines in Naples, FL. Light straw color. Balanced and good structure. Not overly oaked. Compares favorably with chards priced at $25+. Pronounced crisp citrus notes on finish. Smooth and elegant finish.

Light gold color. Smoky vanilla, caramel bouquet. Buttery and rich on the palate. A ripe smooth, oaky flavor with adequate balance. Medium length, this wine is fully mature. Very nice commercial restaurant Chardonnay.
