Wine Review: This pale straw-colored Chardonnay is lighter bodied than most Chardonnays I have covered. It opens with a shy citrus, floral bouquet with notes of light herbs. The wine is brisk, lively, and round with good acidity and noted minerality. The flavor profile is a citrus, lemon zest and saline blend with notes of pears, tangerines, and very light spices. The finish was dry, pleasant, and lingered nicely. I would recommend pairing this Chardonnay with baked scallops and Ritz cracker topping. – Joe

Winemaker Notes: Bright citrus notes on the nose are rounded out with a rich pear and tropical fruit on the palate. Great richness and concentration, with delicate hints of vanilla and baking spice.
