Tuesday, July 16, 2013 - I'm rating this wine based on what it is - an oaky chardonnay typical of the old-school Cali style. It's not an "oak bomb", per se, but there's plenty of a sweet heavy nose combined with the sweet oakiness to place it in that category. Not a Rombauer, but not a "new new world" restrained chard either.
That all said, nice color, good heavy legs, and nice balance across the wine. Similar to a previous note, you might want to lay this down for 2-4 more years to see if the oak will integrate further.
If this is your style, recommend. If you lean more towards the Chablis, pass. GOOD.
