Has a buttery malo element for sure, that is viscous but not too over the top. I wasn't really expecting that from this wine, and while it's not the most ideal characteristic for my pallet, overall it was an enjoyable and balanced bottle.

Clear gold. Full, lemon, grapefruit, smooth, excellent finish. Very enjoyable with first course of crabcakes and aioli on the deck for the first time in 2014.

A restaurant purchase. A very nice surprise this medium to full bodied wine was. There was plenty of acidity and moderate creaminess to please most. Very tangy with the lemon oil flavor/texture I enjoy. Makes me want to find this at retail.

Blind Tasting - Chardonnays; 12/24/2012-12/29/2012: Very bright on the nose, with ripe peach, lime and fresh flowers. Zesty on the palate, but at the same time it shows generous creaminess and density. There’s a real sense of purity to the lemon and white peach flavors. Margarita salt carries the finish. This wine blends ripe fruit with bright acid and minerals in a focused and precise fashion. Delicious.
