Classic cali chardonnay. Not too exciting but enjoyable and serviceable. Nice toasty, round nose. Palate is full bodied with rich, toasty fruit. Paired well with pan seared scallops and a buttery ravioli dish.

I prefer this to the Talbotts to tell the truth. Better balance of acidity, not overoaked, yet still has some body and structure. Lemon curd and tropical fruits dominate nose and palate with a minerality that is nice. Simple, yet enjoyable. Confused to other's comments about sweetness? Maybe a touch of glycerol, but certainly no trace of residual sugar.

Definite mineral, no hint of residual sugar. Consuming it very late. Pear top notes are very nice. Buttery... Mmmm
