Revealing aromas of buttered apples and caramelized citrus, the 2016 Chardonnay is a rich, fat wine that's clean and flavorful but somewhat corpulent, adapted to near-term consumption. To its credit, it's very modestly priced.

This is mostly varietal with a splash of Pinot Gris, Viognier and other varieties that occasionally show themselves. Aromas of lemon curd, cut apple, vanilla, flower and talc lead to soft pear and apple flavors with a lightly oily feel.
