Dreaming Tree Chardonnay Central Coast 2010

Dreaming Tree Wines:

While browsing the wine isle at my local grocery store, I came upon this bottle of 2010 Chardonnay, from the Dreaming Tree.  Not having much exposure in central coast wines I  found out that Dreaming Tree is a collaboration between Dave Matthews (who also owns Blenheim Vineyards) and Steve Reeder (http://www.winecountrythisweek.com/articles/simi-winery-steve-reeder). 

The wine is very clean and gold in color.  Other reviews say that the wine posseses Oak and vanilla on the nose.  I didn't get that experience.  I agree that it has a medium body.  I also agree that it is round, and does have good acid, but its not overwhelming. I paired the wine with some buttered tortellini and shrimp.  I think it would have been better with another persons suggestion, which was Salmon.
