This Chardonnay is recommended for fans of oodles of oak spice that’s well tempered by bright fruit that is ripe pear and stone fruit focused. The oak spice fades into balance in the finish, where lively acidity cleans the viscosity off and keeps the flavors intact. It’s a fine value that represents the region well.
