    March 19, 2023 - Light and crisp, more like a Pinot Grigio than a Chardonnay. But, stepping back from Chardonnay expectations, the wine itself is bright and refreshing.

    March 13, 2023 - Pale lemon green in the glass. Sweet aromas, sweet on the palate. Thought this was Viognier. Chardonnay revealed - what the fuck? No acid, no character. Clumsy wine that just doesn’t justify paying more than $10 for it.

    September 13, 2022 - Fruité, vif
    Fond de cassis? Effervescent ?

    August 6, 2022 - Was not expecting a ton here and had to work to pick up some soft citrus notes. The wine is a little on the sweet side and drinks like a sauv blanc. Light finish.

    June 7, 2022 - PnP, chilled. A very dependable UNoaked Chardonnay that shows lemon and minerality on the nose, as well as on the medium bodied palate, along with touches of green apple, peach and grapefruit. All of this is wrapped with vibrant, palate cleansing acidity. Could pass as a warm weather porch pounder, but really shines when paired with lemon inflected food -- think fish filet in a lemon/butter sauce.
