Returning to a family favorite and price to quality gem. These Chardonnay’s are fantastic! Hit you up front with barnyard and straw and then begin to mellow into pear, green apple, vanilla, lemon and salted popcorn. The palate carries the salinity, pear, and lemon zest I really appreciate. One of my favorite go to Chardonnay’s. Cheers!

Paired this with a homemade chicken and basil fettuccine alfredo. Perfect compliment to cut the richness of the sauce! Unripe pear, Salted caramel apple, and a great crushed stone that really wakes you up on the nose. With time this tends to show some of the oak but isn’t a vanilla or butter bomb. Great pear/apple and mineral like quality on the palate. Could age nicely a few more years and really show off for this price point of Chardonnay

I tasted this wine in store and really liked it. I'm not sure what happened to my bottle as that store normally stores wine ok, and it was in my wine fridge, but it smelled and tasted off. Drank July 2018.

Blind Cali Whites: Bright gold color. Aromas of peach, glazed apple, honeysuckle, and an interesting mix of sea salt and caramelized nuts. Full bodied and rich but generous acidity, the bruised apple and baked pear fruit mixes with bright white flowers and a refreshing chalky sense. Fresh and complex, but lots of that classic honey and nutty richness. Aged 11 months in about 40% new French oak, this is a blend of estate grapes from sites on the western ridge of the Mayacamas.

Clear light golden yellow in color. Notes of apple, honey, and lanolin. Dry, med body, nice acidity. Nice example of Chardonnay.
