  Jackpot! Perfectly stored so way better than I expected. Melon & some citrus. No signs of oxidation just beautiful

  well done, enjoyable to drink, it helped me get through the pre-thanksgiving feast stuff. sorry there was only this bottle. I had to find another bottle of white to donate 1/4 cup to the stuffing. Blessings to all this Thanksgiving!

  Really enjoyed this. It's definitely a big, rich style of Chardonnay. With the few years of bottle age on it, there's lots of honey and butterscotch, but also enough lively fruit for balance (pineapple, a bit of green apple, and pear). And just enough acidity to keep it from being flabby. It was really delicious and easy to drink with food. Last bottle for us, but if we had more we'd be drinking them soon.

  Golden yellow color. The nose has pineapple with some citrus. The palate is fairly rich, lots of pineapple with a little green apple and citrus. Flirts with being too rich, but for my taste, it strikes a good balance. There's enough acidity to lift it up. Delicious and easy to drink.
