Critic's Review Quite an interesting Chardonnay, in an era when so many are too sweet and extracted. There's plenty of orange and apricot fruit flavor, but also a brilliant streak of minerality, like a lick of cold steel, and the overall taste is dry. Really easy to like, with lots of complexity to warrant repeated sipping.
My Thoughts This was a classic Cali Chardonnay. Oaky and buttery on the nose. Some hints of musk in the bouquet as well - like wet dog. The flavor was rich in oak as well. This wine was slightly bitter on the mid palette. It was dry in its overall quality. It finished with notes of orange peel and a hint of apricot nectar mixed with an acidic quality.
This wine was not paired with any food.
