Pear, lemon, baking spices, some noticeable oak too. It is a very nice California Chardonnay (unmistakable), and if it is the style you like, then this is a great bottle aged perfectly. While I enjoyed it, I am more of a burgundy fan, so a less buttery finish would be welcome.

Buttery popcorn aroma with some nice ripe citrus fruit and floral notes. The flavor is fresh, ripe lime, lemon, green apple skin, pear and pineapple. A little oaky for my taste, but very good nonetheless. Perfectly aged — this is in a really good spot right now, starting to show some age but the fruit is still fresh and ripe.

Lovely nose of wet stone, toasted oak, thyme, banana, and light golden raisin (in a good way) on the nose. The palate is beautifully balanced and nuanced. Chablis-like, with a nod to California. One of my favorite WS Chards. Very nice. Drinking nicely now, but not a huge hurry.

Lighter maybe past its prime. Still very nice.

Buttery, tropical and just good. Everything I love in a classic Chardonnay. Outstanding
