This chardonnay is nice and buttery!  The mouthfeel is smooth while not coming across as heavy or overinflated. It was barrel aged in new oak for a short amount of time which kept it very clean without any bitter toast notes. Instead it has pleasing notes of popcorn and lemon meringue.  This is a good, full chardonnay that remains clean and enjoyable!
