Tasting Notes: Lovers of toasty, buttery Chardonnay look no further, this barrel fermented example offers all the big peaches'n'cream aromas you crave at the impressive under $15 price point. Not overly complex on the palate, but a solid expression of apple and pear fruit and light mineral flavours with a satisfying creamy texture, mannered acidity and a moderate finish. Not a Chard to put away, enjoy it in its youth. Drink now-2015.
