Buttery, oaky, alcohol, very limited chardonnay flavor profile. Too bad, Mondavi always a favorite, Napa chardonnay always a favorite, this, not so good.

Medium lemon in the glass, pronounced aromas and flavors, nose leads with citrus, palate is dry with ripe fruit, lemon, lime, tropical fruit, pineapple, butter/cream notes, sweet vanilla, medium body, medium + finish, high alcohol, medium acidity. Classic new world Napa mass market chardonnay.
WSET 3 tasting

This tasting note was done independently of my 9/26/2017 tasting of the same wine and vintage. The very different outcome might mean that the first bottle was flawed. The bottle tasted on 1/25/2019 was about 16 degrees C, the nose was fruit forward and the taste nicely layered, although not very complex and a little on the sour side; pair with chicken

Nice floral bouquet. Fruit and oak on the palate. Short to medium length. What this really lacked was any complexity. It's anything but Burgundian. There's no subtlety. It's a good wine, just nothing stands out and feels very 'mass market'. Not one for laying down. Drink now if you have any.

Nose of lemon and mineral. Quite acidic, flavour is mineral and lemon. More lemon as it opens up. Not much complexity.
