pale straw and moderately viscous in the glass. whiffs of vanilla and cream permeate a nose of ripe pear, apple, mango and papaya. creamy in mouth, the palate follows the nose but is buoyed by moderate citrusy acidity that somewhat mellows the subtle butter and sweet notes. very little complexity that places it at the borderline of "good" and "very good". moderate length.
[obviously a young Chardonnay with moderate oak treatment. it screams mass-production, California, and Sonoma or Napa (Carneros section)… and that it is].

The wine looks light gold colored. It smells like orange, apricot, guava and papaya. It tastes like cantaloupe, guava, mango, papaya and diacetyl (butter). The body is medium. The wine has silky texture. The wine has medium acidity.

Somebody gave as a gift. Cooked with and finished other half with dinner. Citrus and pear. Decent daily drinker. Wouldn’t go out of my way to buy again. Better Chardonnay options at same price point.
Opened yesterday and finished today. Bright yellow. Has a California quality to the nose, but avoids being overbearing in any respect, shows good restraint. Good, technically correct in the mouth, but lacks a bit of excitement or personality. 4-12-14-7: 87/100.

With Avocado Toast at BC…..
Solid decent acidity, citrus but nothing stands out.
