  Ripe apples and white peaches on the nose and palate, bright acidity, easy to drink, not much oak, straight forward and delightful

  10/7/2014 - Kelly Hollingsworth Does not like this wine:

  On the nose, quite fruity: tropical fruits. Interesting complexity.
  Palate: Restrained oak. Alcohol and acidity do not seem to be in balance though. The alcohol was really noticeable to me especially on the finish. (14.5% alcohol)
  
  We are used to french chardonnays and now as we are starting to drink and learn about california wines, we asked our wine merchant for a chardonnay with restrained oak but now I've learned to ask for restrained fruit as well. I think the fruit is overripe which naturally leads to the high alcohol content. I'll be looking more closely at the alcohol content of california chardonnays in the future.
