– 2016 Raymond Generations Chardonnay: Delicious Chardonnay. Rich, and buttery, with plenty of oak but all offset by golden fruits, mostly apple and pear, Nose was filled with brioche, sea shell and apple blossom, with notes of toast and grass. Wine was creamy, but had some liveliness due to acidity. finish was medium long and showed vanilla, butterscotch and burnt toast with flashes of saline and limestone. Very nice Chardonnay that should further improve, but is drinking quite well now. Solid 93 points with room to improve another point with additional bottle age.
A very nice Chardonnay that won't disappoint!
