The Buffalo of our #winesafari. This is not your typical buttery, oaky, styled Chardonnay from California. Our love of blending resulted in a marriage of exceptional fruit aromas with carefully balanced acidity capturing the best qualities of the cool Central Valley regions of California. Warm pear, green apple, peach, butterscotch, and ripe banana, as well as citrus notes, tinged with the scent of baking spice and toasted oak are highlighted in this crisp Chardonnay. Structurally solid, this wine has a lot of great components to it.
