Community Tasting Notes (3) Avg Score: 89 points

  • Built like an inexpensive California chardonnay. Extremely oaky, with nice citrus notes that struggled to emerge from the suffocating oak (with limited success). There was also a very pleasing butteriness at the beginning, but that faded quickly. There's a time and a place for oak juice, and this was a relatively good one, with tasty lots of tasty toasted vanilla that should make it a crowd pleaser, should one need a kosher wine with widespread appeal. But if a non-kosher overoaked chardonnay will do, there are good examples from California that can be bought in the US for less than half the price.

  • The nose of this wine is really fantastic, and the body is luscious. The issue is the finish - it lacks one. We let it air out - but the peaches and nectar in the nose and body tend to fall off at the end - making it not as appealing as I had hoped.

  • Another Jekyll-and-Hyde wine that needs a lot of air to resuscitate its stuff. Straight out of the bottle, this was bloated and buttery like a cheap California Chardonnay, all its detail suffocated by oak. I've never had a wine that crawls out of such an oaky coccoon other than from bottle age, but that's what this one did. Within two hours the proportions became leaner, and the acidity began to better delineate its flavors. It remained luscious with a marked custard and key-lime flavor, but showed a nice mineral inflection and actually became quite refreshing.
