Wine critic review: Quite an interesting Chardonnay, in an era when so many are too sweet and extracted. There’s plenty of orange and apricot fruit flavor, but also a brilliant streak of minerality, like a lick of cold steel, and the overall taste is dry. Really easy to like, with lots of complexity to warrant repeated sipping.
My review: Being a fan of sweeter wines, I wasn't too fond of this Chardonnay. There was some fruit flavor present but not nearly enough to please my palate. This wine was also very dry and complex. While I didn't enjoy this wine, I can think of a few friends who would and I plan on recommending it to them. I did not pair this wine with food.
