Tasting Notes: This un-oaked Chardonnay presents enticing aromas of fruit salad with the character of banana and peach and hints of honeysuckle and jasmine flowers. The acidity is bright and carries the fruit across the palate.

Pairing Notes: OWS Crab Cakes, Rotisserie Chicken, Filet Mignon with Mashed Potatoes
