Reviews and Ratings

Darlene Myers - CAPS Student rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

A lovely Chardonnay for the price. Yummy flavors of peach and citrus greet you on the nose. On the palate more peach joined by pineapple. A great wine with chicken at a great price.
Silver Medal winner at the 2012 Sommelier Challenge Wine Competition. Silver Medal winner at the 2012 World Wine Challenge. Honeydew melon, golden apples, Asian Pear and yellow plums lead to a crisp and refreshing palate, little to no apparent oak. All about the clean fruit, a touch of clean rocky minerality and a balanced finish. Refreshing, but with an impressive amount of fruit depth that could handle new oak – nice to be able to enjoy the fruit without over-the-top wood. Highly Recommended. Drink: 2012-2015. Score: 89.
