NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Etude Chardonnay is an excellent example of high-quality California Chardonnay.The nose offers aromas of ripe apples, ripe pears, honey, and a hint of toasted oak. On the palate, this medium-bodied Chardonnay is full of flavor, with a creamy and balanced texture that provides a soft and lingering finish. The flavors of butter, oak, and tropical fruit linger on the palate. Highly recommended.
