Wine Review: This pale yellow colored Chardonnay opens mild butterscotch and lemon like bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, easy going and approachable. The flavor profile is an Anjou pear and gentle butter rum blend with hints of minerality and faint lemon. The finish is dry and fades away nicely. This Chard is very food friendly and would pair with many foods. I would pair it with Chicken Francese. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: This refreshing Chardonnay erupts with captivating layers of pineapple, bright green apple and fresh Meyer lemon, juicy pear and wildflowers. It shows refreshing acidity and sleek mineral notes which are balanced by a rounded mid-palate and a long, pure fruit finish.
