Winery Review: "The 2011 vintage marks a return to form for this great value Chardonnay. The aromas feature creamy, mellow, golden apple, pineapple, fresh butter and a touch of vanilla. Then rich, ripe, flavors of yellow pear, pineapple, fresh apple, cream and buttered toast swell up and fill your mouth before a juicy, apple and caramel inflected finish makes your mouth water (and smile!)."
My Review: This was a full-bodied and complex white with a nose of caramel, peaches and cream, and apricot. It had a tropical notes to it and well-balanced, solid flavors of mango, red apples, honeydew, and lemon. Along with this fruit component, there was also notions of oak and buttercream. There was a smooth surface texture and a medium finish. It had well-balanced acidity that made for a refreshing, cool, and sprightly. It was not taken with food, but I think this would be great with a lemon tart or a soufflee.
