NOT YOUR TYPICAL CHARDONNAY Wow, nose of apple blossom and grapefruit. Super long in the tasting, this is Granny Smith apples and pomelo's (big Chinese dryish grapefruit) and not cloying or fat in the slightest. I didn't even get a hint of oak (sometimes a Chardonnay can clobber your tastebuds with oak and fat fruitiness, but this was a delight). Superb with my dungeness crab, broccolini, baked sweet potato with butter, avocado and romaine salad. Yeah, okay, an unconventional menu but it was perfected by that Carneros Chardonnay. Probably too fruity for more delicate seafood, but with the crab it was marvelous. Very very unusual. A delight. Buying more.

Pale yellow in the glass. Nose of grapefruit and lime. Pear, apple and subtle oak on the palate. A little tart on the finish, but nice for under $10 at Costco.

Still drinking well. Crisp, clean, easy to drink. A step up from grocery store quality white wine.

Smooth and rich green apple and pear. Great value that drinks above the price point.
