Wine Review: This gold straw colored Chardonnay opens with a nectarine and pineapple bouquet with hints of oak. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced and has rounded edges. The flavor profile is mild apple and gentle pineapple with notes of pie crust. Hints of oak and lemon. The finish is dry and its flavors linger nicely. This Chard is food friendly and would pair well with a roasted garlic chicken. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Aromas of citrus blossom, golden delicious apple, and toasted hazelnut are followed by flavors of yellow plum, Meyer lemon, and baked pear. On the palate, the wine offers bright acidity and a refined finish.
