Shane’s Notes

This Chardonnay has tropical aromas. The palate displays bright lemon and pear. It might be a bit oaked and the acidity is a touch soft – there might be some malolactic fermentation. However, there is enough acidity to provide a backbone. It is drinkable but not one of Chateau St. Michelle’s better efforts.
