Translucent straw-gold. Displays lively Meyer lemon and Seckel pear aromas that pick up ginger and honeysuckle nuances with air. Gently chewy and focused on the palate, offering nervy orchard and citrus fruit flavors and a touch of fennel. Closes long and spicy, with a touch of bitter lemon pith and a sweetening whisper of vanilla. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, October 2020)

Pretty nice Chardonnay. It’s got some nose, nice fresh apple taste with some oak. Tart finish. Its not as big as I look for but with pork roast, green beens and mashed potatoes it goes well. Happy Easter.

We had the 2018 Vintage on 5/15-16/21. For 20 bucks this is a darn good Chardonnay. Tastes of lemon, vanilla, honey and a little apricot. Not too acidic. An over-performer, aka, a good value
