Natalie's Score: 87/100

Nutty with hazelnut and toasted almond on the nose of this Californian Chardonnay from oak aging, with green apple notes on the palate and lots of heft and body. Pair with grilled chicken.

Chardonnay food pairings: scallops with a sesame ginger dressing, grilled seafood, spinach and pepper jack stuffed chicken, beef bourguignon.

Reviews and Ratings

Rachelle O'Connor rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Lovely fruit aromas of pear, white peach and crisp orchard apples. There is also a hint of spice, hazelnut and buttery creamed vanilla. The well created balance between elegance and richness gives way to a medium bodied, divine wine with mirrored flavors on the palate and added lemon zest. Delicious.
Craig Kuziemsky rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Blood orange, citrus and green apple notes dominate the nose and palate. Finishes with crisp acidity and a touch of minerality.
