Light golden yellow in color. Full, forward & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of apples, lemons/limes & pear with overtones of vanilla/toasty oak & floral notes of honeysuckle, some butterscotch, minerals & a hint of oak/vanilla in the background. Medium body with a good concentration of balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of green apples, citrus notes of lemons/limes & some tropical fruit notes of pineapple with minerals, spices & a bit of oak/vanilla. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present & appears to be made for near term enjoyment. Excellent QPR for an everyday Chardonnay when found at discount.

Totally unremarkable. Better Sonoma County Chardonnays for the buck are out there. Definitely not anywhere close to a 95.
