A balanced blend of lemon crispness and creamy toasty flavors. This has a nice viscous mouthfeel. Simple, tasty, and pleasurable. Good QPR.

Pleasant nose with hints of butter and toast. Palate is let down by a metallic finish

Blind Tasting - Chardonnays; 12/24/2012-12/29/2012 : Medium gold colored. Layered aromas of pineapple, honey butter and toffee. Shows its boldness right away with golden pears, lemon candy and orange marmalade. Medium acid provides some balance and the plush texture makes it a pleasure to drink. Flavors of buttered rum, coconut and toast linger on the long, dense finish. Stylistically, this is big and bold, but very tasty.
