Fantastic bottle. Nose of bananas/tropical fruit, nicely balanced, little/no oak, twinge of vanilla-- perfect. Not your traditional California chardonnay which is why we loved it! Fact it comes from Walla Walla may help to explain-- diamond in the rough! Love this winery…love their wines… love everything about them!

Had this slightly chilled after a long day working in the yard. Nice light fruit of lemons, apples on the nose and and nice creaminess on the palate with some nice vanilla notes. Went well with light dinner of bread and cheese.

I absolutely love this wine. The complex aromas all compliment each other wonderfully. Lemon, especially lemon cream, toast, tropical fruits of banana, melon and maybe a hint of kiwi. The palate is wonderfully balanced, with toasty cream, plenty of fruit and lots of balancing acidity. Medium plus body. Wonderfully long and complex finish. Paired perfectly with grilled shimp, Yukon gold mashed potatoes and Podda cheese. Can´t say enough about this beautiful wine. Absolutely recommend.

Didn’t show as well as in the store. Pretty mute on the nose, rich mouthfeel and pleasant enough but a bit flabby and none of the minerally spark that got me to buy it. Today, just average.
