Martin-Scott Wines review: A medium-bodied wine offering lemon and pineapple aromas laced with notes of honey. Tropical fruit flavors merge with vibrant acidity on the finish.
My review: Floral, really opens up aromatically, hints of sour fruit on the nose. Very light oak and wood flavors (most of the fermentation was done in stainless steel and a small fraction of the mix was oak-aged for a month), a small acidic bite and fairly dry on the taste. The smoothness of malolactic fermentation is also present. Overall, it's just Chardonnay; nothing really jumped out at me that made it special from others.
I had this wine without food.
