  Color seems like it has raisin style grapes. Or tons of age. It is golden which is not common for a cab so young. The nose is super fruity Lil bit of an austere flavor after swallowing. But fruity an not like normal cali chardonnays. Pretty sweet an somewhat oily on the palate. Prob should give this another go round on a later date. I don’t have any more but if I did I would let this sit a bit longer in bottle. This wine is sweeeetttt. Lil too sweet when it’s all said and done

  Three words Lemon meringue custard pie. This is a lovely expression of California Chardonnay. Light on its feet and not overdone with a light touch of oak. Very creamy texture on the finish.

  Big and bold Chardonnay that will never be confused with anything other than California Chardonnay. In three words, creamy tropical fruits. While not worth the price point, it is easy to pay it while over served during the Estate tour. Why not, right?
