A clean, focused Cali Chardonnay. Pineapple, light butter, light sweet floral notes on the nose. The palate gives you a big mouthful of fresh pineapple, light butterscotch and ripe green apple leading into a lenghty finish that leaves only traces of those fruits behind. The flavors hit hard early on in this wine and taper off quickly leaving the mid-plalte slighty hollow, but the finish more than makes up for it. Great acid on this wine as well. It's only downside is it is very straight forward and lacks any complexity you hope for in a wine at this price. So, overall this is very good, if I could get it under $30 it would be a buy considering how restrained the oak treatment is, but at this price I was hoping for more.

Drank with crab legs. Excellent Chard. Barely oaked.
