Light golden yellow color. Aromas and flavors of buttered popcorn, creme fraiche, baked apple and green tea dust, and dairy cream and lumber with a round, vibrant, dry medium body and a refreshing, medium-to-long finish that exhibits accents of vanilla cream on a spiced apple, lemon curd, white flowers, and baking spice with moderate oak flavor. This is the classic Cali Chardonnay that many people love and has also driven others to be in the Anything But Chardonnay camp; c’est la vie this is a benchmark of the style.
