Winery Review: Medium-bodied wine with notes of crisp apple and ripe citrus fruit with a hint of cinnamon spice. Delicious complement to grilled chicken, lighter pasta dishes, or mild cheeses.

My Review: This wine had fruit on the nose, but tasted like a typical buttery and creamy chardonnay. It had woody, oaky notes but was also surprisingly sweet, which made it well-balanced. I didn't get the "oak monster" taste, but it was still a heavy flavor that I don't particularly enjoy. I would probably not drink this wine again.

I tasted this wine on its own without food.
