The wine's appearance is a clean, pale lemon with a pronounced nose. This might benefit by waiting until summer to open, since the fruits are underripe. Nutmeg, asparagus, and oak also come through in the nose. I'm a bit surprised by the low acidity on the palate. I also taste lots of pineapple with cedar and vanilla. This has a full body and a medium finish. This is a good chardonnay for ~$13.
