The wine looks pale yellow colored. It smells like fresh lemon grapefruit with a little apple. It tastes citrus and honeysuckle, tropical fruit. The body is light/medium. The wine has medium acidity.

Pale yellow-green color. Youthful, med(+) aromas of kumquat, honeysuckle, mandarin orange. Med body, dry, high acidity, med alcohol, med(+) finish. Grippy texture, which I generally like in Chardonnay. Somehow oak influence was hardly detected, while 2015 vintage had noticeable vanilla note. A little too simple to me.
No MLF with about 40% of new oak.

Napa Valley Visit May23; 5/1/2023-5/4/2023 (Napa Valley): Eye: light yellow. Nose: citrus, floral, herbal. Palate: bitter like lime zest, too green, poor balance of acidity.
