Wine Review: This golden yellow colored Chardonnay opens with a pineapple and apple bouquet with a hint of oak. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced and round in the mouth. The flavor profile is a lemon and green apple blend with notes of refined minerality along with hints of light oak and nectarine pit towards the end. The finish is dry and its acidity and flavors linger nicely. This chardonnay is very food friendly. I would pair this chard with a pan-fried Dover sole with a lemon-butter sauce. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Refined aromas of green apple, pear and lemon peel with a flinty note reminiscent of Chablis. Its elegant palate echoes the bouquet with clean, bright flavors of stone fruit and citrus, backed by firm acidity where oak is an afterthought. A touch of creaminess on the mid-palate is followed by lovely mineral notes that carry through an extraordinarily long finish. Enjoy now or cellar through 2022. This is a versatile wine for food pairing. It will complement a variety of seafood such as oysters and halibut, as well as Meyer Lemon chicken.
