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 wine had notes of spice
and apple pie on the nose. This was definitely one of the better Chardonnays
I’ve had—second only to my favorite one from Chateau Morrisette. The taste was
pleasantly sweet with some notes of vanilla and cream. It was overwhelmingly
apple with some light pear notes. The oak wasn’t overdone but was definitely
present. I would drink this wine again.
I tasted this on its own with no food.
