Description: Gold in colour with a medium intense nose. Positives: This is not your big commercially produced plain Jane Chardonnay from California. In fact, it’s quite restrained, simple but eloquent showing light toasted oak, butter, spice, lemon, apple & nutmeg, peach. Medium+ body, good acidity and a good length. Negatives: A little heat which makes me think this may be higher than the stated 13.5% on the bottle. Interesting Things: Drink now on its own or pair it with chicken parmesan. Tasted: 11 Aug 12 Score: 8.5+/10, Value: 9/10, Total: 18/20 Out of 5 stars, I rated this wine 4

Light apple nose. Mild oak and green apple. Oaky finish.

Slightly better then the Chalone Monterey, which is like a battle between catchers for the backup to the backup.

Had tonight with pasta with white clam sauce and it went together nicely. Easy to drink - Nice balance and finish
