This light-to-medium yellow/gold wine serves up aromas and flavors of baked apple pie, citrus peel, vanilla and cardamom. Medium-bodied, fresh and with nicely integrated alcohol (listed as 14.1%), it doesn't allow the oak to dominate and it stays solid in the middle. Closing with a crisp, medium-length finish, this is a Chardonnay that will have broad appeal for those who prefer a New World style but don't want to drink a "creamy" oak plank. Drink now-2018.

Solid Cali Chard. Good balance and intensity, not over-done. Not the purity or beauty of a high quality Burgundy, but a good example.
