Community Tasting Note

  • dsamuel wrote: 91 points

    November 30, 2022 - Medium gold color with amber tint
    Medium aromas of butterscotch/ candied apple but dominated by medium plus oak spices
    Palate is so energetic and just bursting with ripe fruit - what a contrast to the nose!
    Medium plus brisk acidity and medium plus alcohol with a long finish due to the bright fruit nature and the excellent acidity - no evidence of oxidation here
    Purchased from the winery as a cellar selection - this is really showing some aging capability from SB Chardonnay - my only complaint is the alcohol level but the acidity does a good job of keeping this in check
