Winery Review: This wine has enticing citrus zest, orange blossom and guava aromas with hints of banana cream pie and spicy oak. The palate is soft and velvety offering vibrant citrus flavors intermingled with rich tropical fruit. Excellent acidity adds length and brightness to a satisfying finish.

My Review: I thought this wine was terrible. The nose was very strong like most Chardonnay's but it really did taste like straight cat pee. I thought that taste was so strong that I was not able to pick out any particular citrus hints. This wine seems to be extremely over priced for how bad it was. It may be better if it was paired with a meal.

I did not taste this wine with food.
