Reference from Wine Folly text: The reference I found from the book from page 96 on Chardonnay include, secondary flavors of butter, included with that is tree fruit and melon flavors because of the pear and apple. Because the chardonnay had oak and smokey flavors it wouls be pulled between tertiary and primary. 

My personal review of the wine: I love anything chardonnay. I think this has been more of a favorite for me. I think the tastes of apple, oak, pear, and some smokey textures were really delicious. The flavors had really come to life after I swirled it in the glass. After the smells were very oaky and smokey. I didn't really smell the apple or pear flavors until I tried it but I could also taste the oaky and smokey flavors. I would 100% buy this wine again and would recommend it to my friends. I think that this would pair very well to fish dishes and chicken dishes.
