Citrus and pineapple fruit, then oak and a little bit of butterscotch. Restrained on the oak, and then a nice acidic, albeit short, finish. Well balanced. If they were all like this, I'd drink more Chardonnay. Good with Yucatan chicken.
10/28/2019 Ditto. Got a little bit of diesel with the fruit, but might have been just the oak showing its head earlier than I expected. Nonetheless, a Chardonnay I enjoyed much more than normal.

Nice Straw color. Bouquet of nice oak and lemon with some vanilla and butterscotch--but not a heavy bouquet--it is fresh. On the palate, oak, vanilla, butterscotch, with some spices and lemon and perhaps kiwi and lemon. Medium to full body. Despite the above, it is not an old oaky buttery cali chard, It is not heavy, and is fresh and vibrant because the acidity shows through and brings Great Balance. I like good acidity and this has it. It is a bit tart; No hint of sweetness. Perfect. Good complexity in the mouth. Finish is good--the only thing holding it from a 94 or so. Still drinking well.

great bouquet of nice citrus. Gold color. Balance good if you (like me) prefer wines with good acidity. This one even seems a bit hot now--but still very good wine. Maybe seemed to have faded a bit from before, But I think this is my last bottle. Drink NOW

Similar to my notes of last July. Citrus and melon on the palate with hints of oak. Very enjoyable. Served with sushi at a Game of Thrones party.
