Review:

Notes of vanilla, honey, gram-cracker and pineapple mingle with suggestions of perfume on the nose. A sip reveals flavors of pear and pineapple, as well as springtime floral notes and a hint of toasty oak. A wine that has a refreshing acidity and a somewhat usual flavors profile, it’s for fans of somewhat unorthodox Chardonnay.

Rating: 87

Character: bright fruit, floral, balanced acidity
