  So engaging for a mid-shelf Chardonnay. Crisp, balanced, good acidity and notes of jack fruit, citrus, apples, marzipan, and a pleasant kick of toast that gains intensity as it warms in the glass.

  Slightly toasty, more so as it warms up, but balanced, and with nice lemon and lime tropical qualities.

  First I have to say, I love when an inexpensive wine makes me all happy and pleasantly surprises me. Faint nose of creamy honeysuckle and white peach, Persian lime on the palate and super acidic then builds to a Soulful creamy and but wonderfully acidic delicious finish. Its like yes relax and enjoy but no, I want you up all night :-) And.. its SoCal, TYVM.

  A light straw yellow colored. A great nose of lime, white peach and clovers, some honey. Plush on the body, with really fresh acid. Minerals and white flowers blend well with the green pear and apple fruit. Some peanut and honeycomb, but this wine is still crisp in its approach. Well-done. This Chardonnay spends 10 months in 18% new French, Hungarian and American oak.
