Tasting Note: A bright chardonnay with a pleasurable hint of oak.

Pale-intensity lemon in color, this wine has an aromatic, medium-plus-intensity nose of quince, green apple, lemon peel, bosc pear and blossom with just a hint of vanilla.

On the palate the dry, medium-to-medium-plus-bodied chardonnay has medium flavor intensity.

The wine has some creaminess of texture with mid-palate complexity and completing with a medium finish.

A versatile chardonnay that could pair well with many a dish.

Bottle Note: Winemaker Joe Freeman has put together another seamless gem with this affordable boutique wine. Vibrant, with a hint of vanilla and bright fresh pear flavors in a full-bodied format, with a long clean finish.
