Wine Review: This straw-colored Chardonnay from California opens with a fragrant vanilla, oak and pineapple bouquet with hints of brioche. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium acidity. The mouthfeel is round and fresh. The flavor profile is a banana, pineapple, and lemon curd blend with notes of chalky minerality and butterscotch. The finish is dry, and its flavors linger and last for a while. I would pair this Chard with creamy cheeses. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: This beautiful Chardonnay offers luscious aromas of fresh lemon zest, Mandarin orange, honeysuckle, vanilla and caramel. On the palate, it is silky and rounded, with a creamy mouthfeel that adds depth and richness to the alluring citrus and tropical flavors. The finish is long and refreshing, with bright natural acidity carrying the wine to a vibrant fruit and spice finish.
