Aroma: Bright, citrus, lemon, just a touch of butter/creaminess.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied.
Flavors: Refreshing, crisp, slightly acidic, and with more prominent wood notes than on the nose, although only a little bit of butter. More the fresh, woody, oaky, flavor, than the malolactic flavor a lot of heavily oaked chardonnays have. Lingering citrus and oak finish.
Overall: A balanced chardonnay. Not super tart or acidic like some 100% stainless California Chardonnays can be. But also not completely overcome by malolactic fermentation. Very little butter flavors, and definitely still light and crisp, rather than creamy like some oaked Chardonnays. Probably not a favorite for fans of either super citrusy, fresh, or super buttery, creamy Chardonnays, but a good balance of the two.
