Community Tasting Note
The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine:
Sunday, June 4, 2023 - Retail $65. We bought a couple of bottles from the winery way back in 2011 and I had essentially forgotten about them until today, when I got back from an exceedingly long weekend at an AAU basketball tournament with my younger son. Yeah. Ouch. But this bottle came pretty close to making up for it. A bit golden in the glass with aromas of lemon curd, vanilla, and a subtle shot of oak. And a whoa. The palate? Yowza. I have yet to have a wine made by Ted Lemmon that was not characterized by intense fruit and impeccable balance. That is the case here, too. I have rarely had a Chardonnay this delicious, regardless of origin. Sure, it is a bit more "boisterous" than its Burgundian counterparts, but we all know Americans tend to be that way. Outstanding.
