Would rate it higher except the oak seemed overly burnt. Kind of like a really awesome looking chocolate cookie, just a bit burnt around the edges. The 09 was so much better...just my opinion. The wine would be 94+ otherwise.

Pretty gold in glass and notedly clear. Nose is more floral than fruity with rose jumping out. White peach and pear as well. In the mouth this is noticeably sweet at first but quickly reveals a really nice texture of light and slightly creamy. Finish is medium. Pretty good stuff here. Price though is high when compared to other great CA Chardonnay.

Granny smith, creme brulee, minerality and acidity. So well balanced and friendly. A

hands down the best chardonnay I have ever had.
Smooth, no oak, has body and finish. A mouthful. The price is killer though.

Peach, apricots, vanilla, cinnamon, hints of butter, minerality and a touch of oak. Well balanced.
