This is a zingy Chardonnay that leans toward the crisp side of my favored crisp and creamy zone for the variety. Spiced apple fruit, gentle oak influence and bright acid make for a great warm weather sipper, or a fine pair for fish or fowl. I’m always impressed by this producer’s ability to deliver the goods at multiple price points. Well done! A Double Gold Award winner at the 2020 Toast of the Coast International Wine Competition.
