  Medium straw-yellow. Citrus and cream aromas on the nose. The wine is dry and medium bodied. The palate shows notes of lemon, pear, apple, and marshmallow. Acid medium alcohol medium. I do not enjoy much chardonnay but this one really grabbed my attention. Will buy again.

  Blind wine tasting. Picked as young Calif. Chardonnay. Well done with sufficient acidity and minerality. Apples and pears on the palate. Reasonable finish.

  Medium plus nose shows yellow flowers, honeysuckle, butterscotch, yellow apple, bosch pear. Palate is subtle on the attack, acidity shows well, then finish is more classic CA, vanilla, honeyed apple, hint of minerality in there with fresh rock. Tasty and well done, though not a ton of distinctive things to talk about.
