Silvery straw color. Fruity aromas and flavors of fruit salad with banana, gardenia, and touch of apple vinaigrette with a supple, crisp, dry-yet-fruity light body and a seamless, breezy finish displaying suggestions of pickled pineapple and green apple, spiced nuts, and key lime with no oak flavor. A solid Chardonnay for everyday enjoyment and carefree sipping.
