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: Off the bat, there was a very bright and citrusy aspect to the nose, that stood out with very strong flavors. The taste followed up on that nose with bits of sour apple and lemon. The citrus turned from a bright mellow to a sour finish on the back-end, and followed up with a nice a subtle fruitiness that was mixed with some sort of creaminess that was very nice. This wine is not a bad choice, and I wouldn't mind drinking it again, however, probably wouldn't purchase a bottle myself.
