C: Very light, almost clear, slow thinnish legs S: Grass, lemon curd, "juicyfruit" - actually kinda smells like a NZ SB T: Medium heavy mouthfeel (I like), lemony, dry but not astringent, sharp up front, then a long smooth round finish, some oak, we suspect. Not super distinctive but good traditional style chardonnay. R: Buy again (a little pricey though) - AB says buy-again-minus. Our style

Medium lemon in the glass Medium intensity nose of mainly primary (apple, pear, lemon, a little apricot ) and secondary butter, vanilla. Interesting to note on back of label 100% French oak (33% new). Palate creamy lemon, green apple, and vanilla. Dry, medium+ acidity, high and noticeable alcohol. Medium+ body, medium- finish. Balance not ideal - acidity balances alcohol but with so much primary it doesn’t really fit together yet. Good wine to drink now but has a lot more potential to age. Good thing this was just a Coravin taste 😉

Lemon-lime flesh in color Some citrus notes. Crushed wet gravel, on the nose. Nice acidity. Dry. Light oak. Some buttery notes. A little 'chewy'. Nicely done. Don't drink this too cold. Excellent price point. Great wine for serving at large events. This was even better with sushi rolls. 91 pts .

Smooth and creamy with a line of acidity running through. Touches of lemon curd, moss and slate ass character.
