Nice partially oaked chardonnay with nectarine, mellon and buttery scents on the nose. Med+ bodied with balancing acidity, nice fruit/oak balance and a med+ aftertaste. Well-made and very good value.

Medium gold color. Aromas of pear butter, green and yellow apples, throw in some honeysuckle, maybe some almond and sea salt. Bright acid, a clean and fresh wine but plenty of creamy fruit (yellow and green apples, mango and white peach). I get hints of almond and toasted bread, but not very much, and lots of sea breeze, mountain stream and wildflower notes. Not a lean wine at 14%, but the acid is fresh and the 25% oak vs. 75% stainless steel seems to be working together well.
