Boy this was good. Not sure how to describe this other than extremely well balanced with a long finish that did not become bitter. I'd use the term buttery, but not to imply the over-oaked buttery characteristic of many California Chardonnays, but to describe the silky richness, balanced in acid note to this wine. It's very complex and ust really good!

Better than the last one I had. This is incisive and slightly biting, forward, and zesty but showing some body and length. Nice stuff.

A crisp, slightly tart style. I was hoping for something richer. Pretty good for the price.

Drank with Max & Juliet - medium oak, with a slight green apple flavor, and drinking perfectly for a Friday night.
