Shows an attractive, floral nose that also displays notes of citrus and pineapple. On the palate, this is light and refreshing, offering pleasant flavors of lemon, pear and kiwi fruit and a nice balance between the fruit and acidity. Don't expect too much in the way of varietal character though. If tasted blind I would have guessed this was a Chardonnay or Viognier (but what do I know?). Nonetheless, this is bound to be a crowd pleaser - especially at just $10 a bottle. 50+5+12+14+8=89

Nice floral notes on the nose. A little smoky. Green grass and lemon predominate. Some caramel comes through. Pretty well oaked, probably too much for most. Does lean towards an oaky chard. I like that style. The smoke and acidity assert themselves on the finish.

Alison liked it. For $5 from TL this was a steal. Wish they had more.

Nice Calif SB, decent value. Little low on acidity, tilted slightly towards chard

Thoroughly enjoyed. Seems that this fits nicely between Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay.
