13% alcohol; imported by Delegat USA Inc, San Francisco, California; screw top, no aroma; long legs, 12K gold; nose of extra sharp, aged cheddar, maybe a trace of licorice entangled with slightly bitter fruit; tasted at 12 degrees C in a Riedel glass designed for white wines; this full-bodied wine is downright salty with some pepper mixed in, slight effervescence, sourness, bitterness and fruitiness intertwined; medium finish reminiscent of low-sugar apple pie with maybe some stone fruit, like peaches, mixed in; an unexpected mixture of flavors with good promise in future vintages; pair with seafood, especially cold-water oil-rich fish like line-caught Pacific Coho salmon

If you like unoaked Chardonnay then this is a good basic choice. I would buy again because I prefer this style and for the price, it was better than expected. Not a wine for the bold, buttery, oaky California Chardonnay style fans.

White fruits and citrus in the bouquet and on the palate. Good and refreshing acidity. Ok, fairly basic wine. 86 - 87

Unoaked and fresh with just a hint of butter and good acidity. An excellent Chardonnay for everyday consumption.
