winemaker's notes:

"Intense aromas of apple and pear lead into hints of melon and creamy butter on the palate in this refined Chardonnay. The lingering finish is a lush balance of sweet oak, caramelized sugar, and fruit."
- Ray Einberger, Winemaker

Daniel Khan - Lewisville, TX (read all my reviews)
I would buy this wine again

I really enjoyed this wine. First its a 90 point for $10, but reviews aren't every thing, so I had to try it. Starts with a very warm fruit taste of apples, pears, and melons, and turns into a slight oaky spice. Finishes warm and smooth. Even light weights can handle this wine. Highly recommended

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.

Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.

About Professional Ratings
These wine ratings are based on a 100-point quality scale, and are selected by each publication's unique criteria. Some wine ratings are expressed as ranges. When this occurs we will list the highest score in the range and note the full range within the tasting note.

While ratings may influence your decision, the ultimate judgment is your palate.
