Community Tasting Note

Saturday, December 22, 2018 - I know, 97 points for a 14 year chardonnay. But it's the truth. Opened on whim cleaning out the cellar after a move. This bottle got lost in the shuffle over the years. I bought it on release because I always loved the wines Ed made at another winery in the 90's. Stored at between 53 and 55 degrees, mostly at 53. Very deep golden yellow color, nose was a heavy vanilla, ripe peach/green apple, oakey goodness all infused. palate was similar to nose, syrupy in a good way with the vanilla sweet oak, ripe tangy peach that went on and on, lasted 20 seconds. Blew everyone away. Had it with a roasted tomato, thyme and buffalo mozz appetizer. Since everyone loved it, we drank with a second course, Lobster Louie salad recipe from wine spectator, perfect. Damn I wish I had more. I think I will experiment with more aged chardonnay's like this.
