Winery review: Our cool climate Chardonnay exhibits beautiful bright lemon, lime and green apple aromas. The flavors are similar-melon, apple and a hint of vanilla oak spice from the barrels.

My review: This wine had a very strong fruit flavor and was less dry tasting than many chardonnays I have tried in the past. The flavor that struck me the most was apricot. I found the finish on the wine to be almost buttery.

Food: None
