Butter colored, medium bodied, slightly tart on opening with layer of acidity, tone of green apple, tropical fruits, hints of lemon and hints nutty almond. Tartness and acidity conflicted with lobster tail and lemon on previous tasting but complimented the sockeye salmon nicely tonight.

This oaky chardonnay maintains enough acidity to be surprisingly acidic. It consisist of butter, passion fruit and honeydew flavors with a medium bodied frame. The color is brilliant! I was surprised to find tiny bubbles on the bottom of the glass while drinking. Cheers!

Full and pineapple, rich, Richard says "its a good baby-boomer chardonnay." Meaning its creamy and rich.

paired with a simple pesto sauce, cheese ravioli. I really enjoyed this wine. I'm not usually a chardonnay drinker, but this one surprised me. I loved the crispness, and my guess is it didn't hurt that the alcohol content was a bit higher (14.2). I think it gave it an almost "fizzy" taste, a pop, if you will. I really enjoyed this and plan on buying some for the summer.

Richer style. The oak can be felt. Rich, tropical fruits. Heavy duty chard, but if you like the style, it's pleasant and nice. The price isn't over the top, either.
