  Yellow gold, medium legs. Well-defined aromatics of grapefruit, lemon, lime, pineapple and peach; similar flavors. Light/medium body, bright texture. Medium finish, medium acid. Distinct, fruity first impression which may be due to lack of oak. Very pleasant wine; almost as good day 2, some fading days 3 - 4. At $26 price, QPR below average. That said, I would consider this wine again for a special occasion only. Drink now.

  This is a nice, unoaked Chardonnay from the cool 2011 vintage. Lots of ripe fruit (stone, even some tropical, and lemon too), edged with floral notes and some chamomile. Round, creamy texture from lees aging.

  Yum. Caramel camomile start and clean finish.
