  Very unique nose that shows a nice, earthy funk I usually associate with red Burgundy. Beautifully balanced palate, showing good fruit and perfectly rounded oak.
  
  This is one of the most subtle, perfect California Chards I’ve had in a long time. Probably has another year or so of life left, but it is fantastic now if you prefer nuanced, non-oak bombs.

  Still vibrant, with mature notes of melon, lime, and apricot. Nice finish. Very characteristic of nicely aged Martinelli Chardonnay

  PnP. Showed better than the Three Sisters Chard had last night due to better acidity. A nice medium to plus mouthfeel, with tastes of oak, and a good bit of stone fruits. Not as "fat" as the Three Sisters, but could have benefitted from a bit more acidity. Should hold for several years
