Vagenius is right on with the herbs. Initially thought pine but thyme and bay leaf nails it with some air to the wine. I would add cherry on the nose and Sonoma Pinot like raspberry cream finish along with the Zin black pepper. Nice acidity, very enjoyable already!

Second bottle in last 30 or so days. This really works for me when I want an oaky California style Chardonnay. Try this with bone in cowboy ribeye for change up from the red with steak pairing. The fat from the ribeye brings out a buttery ness from the oak in this wine and the acid cuts the fat nicely. Fun pairing for a warm summer night!

No recent reviews so thought I would share. This is ready for business pnp. Nice weekday wine. Good acidity so needs food. Medium weight with pepper, blackberry and tobacco notes. Really enjoyed with chicken cutlets. Really nice QPR.
