Meh. Not anywhere close to the quality of the chardonnays from Ramey I have had. Typical RR ripeness and cola notes. Certainly fine if that is your preference, but for me more lightness and nuance would be appreciated.

While I was looking for something for the cooler weather I stumbled upon this bottle with a leaky cork, pushed foil and seepage. I decided to pull it to see if it was flawed, and glad I did. What a lovely wine. Well balanced acidity with lemon zest and a bit of green apple. I love Jamie’s chards.

Slow-oxed for four hours. Disappointing (given my otherwise appreciation of Mikes’ wines). This was a serviceable wine, but too “grapey” for my taste.
