Natalie's Score: 90/100

Classic Californian Chardonnay with toast, oak and green apple aromas. Full-bodied, and generously layered. It's always handy to have some half bottles (375 ml) on hand for when you want to start with a glass of wine each, and then move on to another wine for the main course. Finishes with citrus fruits and baked bread. Pair with roast chicken or turkey.

Chardonnay food pairings: pasta, hodge podge, lobster with mayonnaise, roasted chicken, pork with a creamy lemon sauce.

Elegant vanilla butterscotch nose, leading to a rich, creamy palate giving buttered toast, vanilla, background citrus lemon and mild tropical fruit. Satiny smooth mouthfeel and a lingering rich, buttery finish.
