Winery review: "2012 was an excellent vintage across California because of steady, mild temperatures that persisted throughout summer. The fortuitous weather conditions helped our Chardonnay develop very pronounced aromatics. The perfect balance of sweet, luscious fruit and crisp natural acidity make this a standout wine."

My review: This white wine reeks of oak and nut flavor in the bouquet. It's color seems kind of plain. Upon tasting there is a acid bite behind a suggestive fruity flavor. It has a citrusy and somewhat dry taste. There is a malic acid factor here. The finish brings back some of the oak / nutty flavor and it pulls together quite well.
