This is fairly balanced chardonnay that adds a dash of sweet vanilla oak & spice to the sun kissed fruitiness. It's really smooth and delicious with faint vanilla honey notes on the finish. Given the modest price, I highly recommend.

The 2013 Dreaming Tree Chardonnay has pleasing aromas of Bartlett pear, lees, gooseberry and wood on the nose and green/yellow apple, pear, subtle lees, vanilla and subtle oak on the palate. It is a medium bodied, dry, fruity wine; with good acidity and a medium to long, soapy finish (allow to open for 30+ min). This is a food friendly wine as well as sipping wine; drink now and for the next 3-5 years (composite cork enclosure). My impression: NICE, 88 pts - recommended mainly for its value.
