Really enjoyed this. Has a good bit of oak so if that’s not your thing you should look elsewhere. But for me, the acidity really cuts through it well. The finish is long and enjoyable, with no rough edges. I think this will remain enjoyable for several years. I only wish the alcohol (14.5%) was lower; not hot on the palate but got a buzz relatively quickly.

Nicely balanced Napa chardonnay. Nothing over the top but good creamy lemon, ripe gala apple, a very slight touch of butterscotch, a hint of oak, decent acidity and a medium finish. Along with the acidity there's also a bit of creaminess on the palate.

I like the oak on this. Not overpowering but just the right amount. Lemon peel, refreshing...has an elegance to it.
