Shop/wine critic/winery review:
    A vibrant Chardonnay from vineyards in cooler climates of California. Chardonnay is well known for its characteristic fresh apple fruit aromas and rounded, rich flavors. Weather during the 2011 harvest provided ideal growing conditions for lush, yet perfectly balanced fruit.


My Review:  
    This Chardonnay presents a nice clean gold color and a fruity nose with hints of pear/apple. Upon tasting, this wine presents a smooth/soft start and a sharp strong slightly smokey finish. The wine has a nice body. The finish is a bit startling but nice. 80-81/100
