Pale lemon-yellow color. Fresh nectarine, lime and pungent brown spices on the nose. Juicy and just off-dry, with lovely intensity and lift to the apple, spice and floral flavors. Very subtle use of oak. Lovely chardonnay for eleven bucks.

The notes of green apple and lemony citrus are fresh and clean with great clarity and precision. Balanced and easy to drink with a buttoned-up finish. Drink now.

Fresh, with good cut to the melon and green apple fruit flavors, which linger gently on the finish. Drink now. 12,000 cases made.
