03/2018 Medium body and fruit. This wine has great Chardonnay fruit, with a hint of complexity. Great to drink by itself, or serve with chicken and a cream sauce or shellfish. We had this with an Indian dinner, and it was great.

03/2013 Light body and fruit. Tasted my last bottle - almost too light to serve with food. This has some subtle floral aromatics, and is nice for sipping.
