  Pale straw in color with subtle aromas that show off the light oak influence in this wine.
  
  Medium bodied with a slightly round, silky mouth feel. Shows off flavors of lemon curd, vanilla, and cantaloupe melon, yet the fruit here keeps good pace with the accents given by the (judicious) oak treatment. Importantly, the wine's acidity moves things along nicely and prevents this from being clunky.
  
  A solid, graceful wine. Well-made cool climate chardonnay.

  Very pale yellow color with a bouquet and flavor of apples, pears, and vanilla oak. Moderate depth with some nuance and a nice finish. Pleasant wine. Drunk at the winery a the very edge of Cayuga Lake in the Finger Lakes Region of New York on a beautiful fall day.
