Buttered toast and apple on the nose. The palate offered a honey, apple and tropical fruit medley. Pair well with chicken or seafood.
Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

A California Russian River Chardonnay with a rich nose of tropical pineapple and vanilla. The palate shows buttery butterscotch, tropical pineapple and a hint of citrus. Well-balanced with a medium tropical fruit finish.
Heather Wall - CS; WSET Advanced rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

A fresh and bright medium weight chardonnay from Sonoma. Asian pear , toasted oak, nutty and butter. Some bitterness on the finish. Perfect for seafood and shellfish.
Tasted: October 2015
Folie a Deux translates to a passion shared by two. The Chardonnay grapes are sourced from Sonoma's coveted Russian River Valley where the Pacific Ocean fog moderates vineyard temperatures. - Community Wine Reviews
