Winery Review:
"The 2011 vintage marks a return to form for this great value Chardonnay.  The aromas feature creamy, mellow, golden apple, pineapple, fresh butter and a touch of vanilla.  Then rich, ripe, flavors of yellow pear, pineapple, fresh apple, cream and buttered toast swell up and fill your mouth before a juicy, apple and caramel inflected finish makes your mouth water (and smile!)."

 My Review: 
I really enjoyed the smell of this wine.  Apple and butter were most present but a subtle hint of tropical fruit and vanilla was noticeable.  After tasting it, I noticed apple, pear, pineapple, and just a little bit of vanilla.  The texture was very rich and creamy.  There was definitely a light caramel aftertaste to the wine.  I tried this wine without food.
