Review:
Pears and peaches wander among expressions of buttery oak, spice, and flint. There's a nice, creamy texture on the palate as flavors of pear, golden apple, and peach play off of the buttery oak, flint, and lemon custard. Round and mouth-filling with lovely fruit and some good complexity, it's a well made Chardonnay.
Rating: 90

Review:
One is greeted by aromas of tropical fruit, honeydew, buttery oak, and vanilla on the nose. Expressions of melons, pineapples, and lemon combine with a toasty, buttery oak on the palate. Creamy and round, but balanced but processing a good acidity, fans of buttery Chardonnay will enjoy this.

Region: Monterey County, California
Year: 2015
Special Designation: n/a
Farming Certification: n/a

Review:
Lots of tropical fruit comes together with butterscotch and toasty vanilla on the nose. Lush and round on the palate, pineapple, mango, and nectarine meld with butterscotch, toasty oak, and coconut cream. There's still a nice acidity here to balance out the creamy, rich flavors, so it's lovely to sip alone but could also pair well with a honey baked ham.
