Shop/wine critic/winery review: "The 2010 Chardonnay presents subtle notes of spice apple slices and ripe peaches with hints of freshly baked break and melon. Light bodied, clean and refreshingly crisp in the mouth, it offers just enough apple and pear flavor concentration, finishing with medium-long persistence. Drink it now to 2014."
My review: This wine was surprisingly dry and crisp. On the nose, there were hints of cinnamon, apple, pear, and apricot. Melon peel and apple came through on the palate. The flavors were complemented with a few oaky characteristics such as smoke and vanilla. A little bitter. This wine was nice, but I don't know if I'd go out of my way to purchase it again. I tasted this on its own with no accompanying food.
