June 25, 2018 - A decent and modestly affordable Chardonnay. Buttery notes with some honey and nut flavor. It is decent but got tired quickly. I just was not fascinated or desirous of more than a glass.

December 24, 2016 - Tropical fruits, pineapple, mango, apricot, & honeyed citrus. Clean & finishes w/ good acidity. Hint of minerality. Touch of oak.
Updated: Citrus, but not honeyed. Acidity higher than expected. Oak more pronounced than expected. Mediocre wine -
