Unmistakably California Chardonnay, there was a dominant buttered popcorn note that blew off after 10 min in glass. Rich and creamy with peaches, apricots, and tropical fruit, with a buttery, oaky backdrop. It's all a bit over the top for my palate, but it's in a nice place and well made. Needs to be carefully paired, but does nicely with rich dishes that have a touch of smoke.

Spicy, white pepper, citrus, cream and hazelnut nose. Round and spicy palate; long, toasty finish.

Rich buttery and OAK. Fruit a bit overpowered. Acidity was there and a bit of tanin from the oak, but light as imaginbed.
