  April 17, 2024 - Pop and pour. 100% Chardonnay from the UV Vineyard in the Sonoma Coast AVA. Aged 15 months in 33% new French oak barriques.
  
  Bright golden in the glass, showing no signs of age. Nose of grapefruit, some tropical fruits and a tiny bit of ripe pear. Very little oak influence, just the tiniest hint of vanilla. On the palate it’s similar to the nose, showing citrus, lemon tart, and green apple. The fruit is not as bright as the nose, it’s a bit creamier in a pleasant way. It gets more vanilla with air, but still not unbalanced. It’s medium bodied, medium+ acidity, pretty long finish where the oak comes through a bit in the form of vanilla. Very mild and nicely integrated.
  
  Excellent QPR at $15. Nice refreshing Sonoma Chardonnay. Great change of pace from the usual California oak bombs. Drinking very nicely now.
