Wine Review: This light yellow colored Chardonnay opens with a pleasant mild toasty oak and butter bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, creamy, and nicely balanced. The flavor profile is a mild lemon lime with a touch of butter, white pepper, and gentle oak. The finish is dry and its mild oak lingers slightly. This was a crowd pleaser at a party I attended. I would pair it with a wild mushroom risotto. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: This classic Sonoma County Chardonnay displays bright aromas of lemon cream, mango and notes of toasted hazelnut. This wine has a subtle elegance with a lingering finish.
