Tasting Notes:
Scents of pear, apple, citrus, spice and vanilla commingle with light toast that is added by the oak. This well balanced Chardonnay is integrated with subtle oak and light butter showing hints of stone fruits, citrus and tropical fruits with a slight minerality on the palate.  This refreshing Chardonnay will pair well with fruit and cheese plates and a variety of lighter dishes.
