Reviews: 
"Our Chardonnay captures the essence of the Edna Valley, showcasing complex peach, pear and tropical flavors that have developed slowly on the vine. A refined, terroir-driven minerality dances through the silky midpalate, joined by caramel, clove and cinnamon. Gentle winemaking leaves a subtle impression of creaminess and balances the bright fruit that carries through the finish. A wine that offers a little bit of everything, this appealing Chardonnay pairs with a variety of foods such as salmon with lentil salad, chicken tagine or pasta with spring peas and pancetta"
--- Winery Notes
My review: 
Wine is pale yellow in color. Has a nice fruity aroma with a light smell of peaches and citrus on the nose. I picked up a gentle spiciness aspect as well. It has a nice combination of flavors with the spice balancing the peaches and citrus. This is a well-balanced medium-bodied chardonnay. There was a special at Kroger so this wine was only $9.99. I found this to be a really nice chardonnay for that price.
