Out of 5 stars, I rated this wine: 4

Aromas of baked apple, mango, Meyer lemon peel, toast, toffee and vanilla.

On the palate, apple, mango, caramel, butter and a touch of almond.

Dry with medium acid, medium+ body and intensity and a creamy finish of medium length.

For those looking for a nice buttery - but not too oaky - California Chardonnay, this fits the bill nicely at a decent price point.

Tasted November 2016.
