Wine Review: This light yellow wine opens with a light lemon like bouquet. On the palate, this light to medium bodied wine has a pineapple and lemon custard like flavor profile with hints of butter. It is crisp and racy. The finish is dry and a bit brief. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: There are crackerjack minerality flavors with a hint of citrus , vanilla, buttered toast, and ripe peaches. A superb mouthfeel. The palate, is clean and pure with a lovely texture, finishes long.

Buy it: Use 1000 Corks to find stores that sell Chardonnay.
