Fruity, slightly sweet chardonnay. We normally don 't like California chardonnays, but this one has fruit flavors toned down, and we found it very nice and drinkable.

More elegant and complex than the 2010 estate wine also tasted, but only just. Green apple, citrus, oak, and some butter. Well balanced. A little expensive for what this is, you can definitely get as good White Burg for around this price ($55 in the Cakebread cellar shop, and surely more at retailers).

Extremely oaky, at times to the exclusion of other tastes. Full, round, rich mouth with a clean finish. Mellowed on the second glass, but would like to see this again in 12 months.

Mid dark gold; vanilla, citrus, nutmeg; mid body; buttery; vanilla finish. Decent acids. Wood overpowers fruit or would be higher.

Aroma = honeysuckle, apple
Color = golden and clear
Taste= tart apple, little bitter finish, little oak finish. Not very buttery, more on crisp side.

Smooth, with pear and apple flavors. This hit the spot with a first course arugula salad. Can last for a number of years.

Melons and pear on the nose with green grass. Nice balance acidity. Round light butter finish. Smooth. My favorite Chardonnay.

- Aromas of apple. It's balanced and has flavours of apple with a medium/full body. Round texture with a medium finish.
