Wine Review: This is pale yellow colored Chardonnay from Napa opens with a mild caramelized apple and vanilla oak bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, and very easy to drink. The flavor profile is a very tasty apple and vanilla oak blend with notes of pineapple and butterscotch. The finish is dry and its flavors linger for quite some time after the wine is gone. This wine is very food friendly and would pair nicely chicken cordon bleu. We definitely wanted a second glass. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Aromas of apple, pear, vanilla, caramel, orange blossom, quince, hazelnut explode from the glass. Rich and fresh on the palate, the wine exhibits bright fruit, lemon drop, baked apple pie, has a smooth and creamy mouthfeel, and long finish.
