PnP, 15 min slow ox in glass. Aromas of honeysuckle, spices and a bit of sweet oak. Nice, rich, medium-bodied well integrated on the palate with toasty oak and ripe golden apples. Well balanced and at perfect maturity!

Late note, but really good. Taken on beautiful complexity at this age. Amazing value. Probably the best California Chardonnay we’ve had this year. Wish I had bought more!

This was a pleasant surprise. Decanted then returned to the bottle. In the decanter, the color was dark enough that I feared it was going to be showing advanced aged characteristics. Not so much. While medium bodied, fairly round with some flavor development, there were no butterscotchy flavors or indications of too much oxidation, something I'm intolerant of. Nice balance with enough cut to avoid being flabby, reminiscent of a white burg with some age, though a bit fruitier. This bottle an easy 91 points.

A dirty chardonnay, and I mean that in the best of ways. Lots of grit and earth, interspersed with sweet, sweet fruit. Delicious!
