NEWJFC’s review is spot on. 5 years in and there’s good acidity and Grenache fruit. Not overly complex but an easy drinking and enjoyable GSM. Another well made wine from Jimmy and Shelly Zanoli.

Exceptionally well balanced Chardonnay, still presenting good fruit with apple and toast notes. The oak is there giving it roundness and a richness but restrained and well integrated. It took some time to open but is showing well 2+ hours after opening. 8 years in and it still has room to run. I have 2 more bottles but clearly I should have bought more.

Me:Toast and butterscotch on the nose gave me hope but pure grapefruit and lemongrass on the palate, neither of which is a flavor I enjoy. My wife: Foxy, both the wine and her of course. Just not our wine.
