Tried this because I was curious how a great Italian wine maker would handle CA fruit... the result was about what I expected: crisp and clean but no sign of oak. Not as flinty as yesterday's Chablis, but not a full and fruity as a top Napa Chard. Not our style.

This was the white selection for a recent birthday party. My initial reaction was that it was an Italian Chardonnay. My instinct was incorrect. I was surprised that it was a Napa Valley Chardonnay. It was not oaky, nor was it super ripe. It had just the right amount of fruit and it paired well the Mediterranean seafood stew that we were eating. I may purchase some more.

Just a little off. Too full and oaky.

Nice. Sweetness balanced with acid. Flavor a bit thin. I get a bit of pineapple and maybe a hint of stone fruit
