Popped and aired for twenty minutes or so...great nose of butterscotch, pear and some sweet oak...or vanilla, whatever you prefer to call it. Anyhow, a complex, pleasure of the forementioned aromas and flavors. Simply delicous, the best chardonnay I have enjoyed this year, so far. Drink now.

Very good early on, smooth and silky without the typical chard butter. However after 40 mins showed a lot of alcohol, wood, and heat. Started as a 91+, ended at 89.

Medium yellow with hints of green. Medium aroma of zingy green apple and yellow fruit. Nice rich thick yellow fruit with lear oak notes on a decent acid frame.

From .375. Great pear and citrus flavors, some rose petal on the nose. Little too acidic for my palate but a very nice offering nonetheless.
