A very nice summer wine. A Warm honeysuckle and vanilla nose hint at the beautiful balance of this Chardonnay. The flavors of just-ripe stone fruit are supplemented with the right amount of citrus pith. But it is the long buttery finish that steals the show. I love an oak-y Chardonnay and this one likes to linger on the palate without being too heavy.
It is probably too nice a wine for sipping at a campsite, but it is just the right wine for me today. Serve chilled. Costco $12.
Bottoms up.

Color - Light to medium straw yellow Nose - Green apples, pear, tropical fruit, mango, pineapple Palate - Balanced, good acidity, fruit forward, smooth, not a lot of oak or butter which is my style preference.

A middle of the road California chardonnay. Not as oaky or buttery as some, but also not as austere and mineralic as the driest chardonnays. Just a nice white wine that is not very distinguished.
