  Light golden color. Very buttery on the nose. It is almost all you can sense on the nose, with very subtle lemongrass, tangerine nuances. This is a full bodied chardonnay with a respectable oak influence, or maybe a little bit too much. Fruit, oak, and acidity are a little bit all over the place; a little bit disjointed. Unfortunately, I'm not pairing this wine with a dish at the moment, but all in all, I bet it would come together fairly well. I did used it to boost a mushroom risotto that I'm cooking, and I bet that it gave it some good character. I suspect that the fruit that lies under that bed of oak is pretty good quality and enjoyable.
