  Took me a while to find this one even though I saw Dan cradling this one like a newborn baby. Found it about 30 minutes after opening. Nose of mango and a touch of buttered toast. The entry is dense, guava and peach. Praline note on the middle. Finishes with rounded notes and tamed acidity.

  A little more oaky than I wanted on this tasting.

  Granny Smith apples combined with a touch of baked bread. It finishes with a delightful smokiness that is well integrated. Very nice California Chardonnay.

  Still hanging in there. Served at a close friend's birthday party I hosted along with a lovely pinot. To my surprise the chardonnay was the house favorite.

  For my tastes it is difficult to find a domestic chardonnay that is so delicious for such a fair price. If you have not tried this producer you are missing out on one of the best.
