Clean pale yellow color with pleasant fruit flavors on the nose adding some toasty oak notes. On the palate apple, pear and hints of citrus. Good structure, creamy tones with light acidity, crisp medium finish. Tasting Sample.

Very enjoyable entry level oaked chardonnay. Creamy oak apple and pear flavors. Hard to beat for $6.

Color of saturated gold, beautiful. Nose of nutty, buttery flavors, spice, sprite, dense flowering note like Riesling, some mineral, and some ripe pineapple and banana. Taste is mouthful with zesty tinkling flavors leading the way, spicy, and less sweet than suggested by nose. Second sips has more sweetness from honey, same spice, and more zesty rind. Aftertaste is dominated by spicy taste from alcohol and a bit short of complexity. I do feel the nose alone earns her a nice rating.
