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: I enjoyed this buttery, creamy Chardonnay.  It provided a nose of green apples and cream.  The palette was crisp with notes of buttered toast and pear apparent.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
