Wet stone, lime, and oak on the nose. The palate is very buttery, with nice notes of slightly smoked lime and raw honey. Reminds me a bit of a margarita, actually. Crisp acidity and a medium-long finish. If you enjoy oaky Cali Chard, this is a pretty nice bottle.

A very nice Cali-chardonnay. Perhaps not the most avantagarde-wine on the market, but good buttery fruit, good acidity and well balanced. Went well with chicken.

Crisp and clean, not oaky, not buttery, just a good Chard.

Rich and ripe, a touch of butter, but nice acidity to back it up, good fruit and minerality!
