The Martin Ray Winery Chardonnay 2013 is very good! Apple, peach, caramel and vanilla make up this delicious wine. Tasted January 31, 2016 (90/100)

89/100 with the following review:
Aromas are clean, and include apple, pear, butter and a bit of caramel. Oak aging is very balanced, present but not overwhelming. Flavours of honey, citrus and tropical fruit mingle with some soft oak. Try this with pasta in alfredo or a creamy risotto.

88/100 with the following review:
Medium gold bright and. Clean. An initial oak-dominated nose is followed by subtle tropical fruit. Pineapple, coconut, and hints of citrus occasionally make an appearance. Tastes of toasted almonds and caramel dominate the palate with subtle fruit. A medium finish.
Should do nicely with a clam chowder or a chicken dish in a cream sauce.

This rich and elegantly balanced Sonoma Chardonnay shows prnounced aromas resembling cooked apple, hazelnuts, sweet smoke, caramel and a hint of oak resin. The palate is buttery smooth with similar notes repeated from the aromas. The acidity (medium +), sweetness (off-dry) and fruit concentration balance harmonously. This style of Chardonny pairs very well with lobster or butternut squash ravioli in cream based sauces. Tasted Jan 2016.

Light yellow, apple, mellon and citrus on the nose along with light oak spice. Ripe sweet pear and peach along with citrus and light oak spice. Medium full bodied, fresh acidity and medium long butterscotch tinged finish.

Light in color, subtle on the nose - a hint of honeydew melon - the palate delivers a medium bodied, well balanced and flavorful Cali Chard with hints of vanilla, candied apple, apricot and pear. There is a well balanced acidity and lingering flavors on the palate.

Nose: Pineapple, lychee, a little citrus
Taste: Citrus notes, with toastiness and lychee, and a little chalk.

Discreet nose with aromas of salty caramel and honeydew melon. Balanced mouth with nice apple compote in retro. Refine wine that would be great with grilled chicken or mushroom risotto.
