A Ridge Tahoe Weekend; 6/29/2023-7/2/2023 (Edgewood Resort): Tropical fruits but what stands out the most for me it’s the acid is still comfortably there in the wine. Again the more honey characteristics. It’s drinking better than I might have expected although still a Chardonnay so not really my jam.

Can't say this is my style, but I can see the appeal factors; the nose was coconut, spice, apple pie, and creme brulee. Far too much oak influence for my preference. The palate was rich and deep, but maintained pretty good balance overall. The finish was long and lingering. Still aging nicely based on this bottle.

At first seemed oxidized but with a little wire this got quite nice. Lemon curd and orange zest along with hazelnuts and florals on the nose and palate. Deep and richly textured. Very nice but on the edge between nicely aged and oxidized.

Light lemon color. Kumquat, honey, and nut oil on the nose, silky and full bodied on the palate. Mouthcoating with great balance and presence.
