A nice deep yellow to gold color. Apples, pears, lemon zest, peach, and some spicy oak on the very refreshing nose. Medium body at most with very nice acidity. Tart fruit and some minerality on the palate with just a bit of nice spicy oak in the background. Some nice lemony zip on the finish which is of decent length. A nice, lightly oaked, crisp and dry California Chardonnay.

Deep yellow to gold color. Apples, pears, lemon zest, apricot, and some spice on the nice nose. Light to medium body with crisp, mouthwatering acidity. To me this wine has the absolute perfect oak treatment, provides nice background spice but does not come across as scratchy or omnipresent. Nice fruit and spice on the palate with the lemony citrus providing nice support. Decent length on the finish but I wish it had just a touch more. This is in a very nice place right now, glad I held on to a couple bottles.

Golden color. Lemony oak on the nose. Lively acidity. Very bright on the tongue. Much less oaky taste than I expected from the aroma. Apple and lemon. I'm not sure that the fruit level quite equals those of the acidity or alcohol, but very tasty nonetheless.
color 4/5 nose 7/10 taste 16/20 balance 7/10 finish 3/5
