A clean and straight shootin’ style of Chardonnay that had some mild oak and malo influence but is built on fresh fruit (apple and lemon) character.
Unfortunately I think this bottle is probably two or three years past its peak; it’s still enjoyable but it’s a little tired and isn’t showing much tertiary character to make up for the freshness it’s losing. M acid at best, maybe M-. But like I said, still enjoyable, and nice with potato-squash-avocado tacos. Would be good with fish.

Excellent Chardonnay. No oak influence really let’s the fruit shine.
