Slo-oxed for 15 minutes, but continued to open for another 20 - 30. A really nice non-vineyard designate Chardonnay by Ted & team. Medium to plus body (due to, at least, partial malo) with notes of apple, pear, lemon, some spice, and just a touch of oak. The acidity is balanced, and the finish is medium to plus. Should hold for at least a couple more years.

Wonderful Chardonnay with elegance, vibrancy and delineation. One of the best CA Chardonnays I have had. I love the producers style. If tasted blind I would have never guessed this was from the Sonoma Coast.

Really great wine. Not sure how they pull off this amount of richness and body at only 12.7% ABV, but it's ridiculous. The fruit is delicate, lots of lemon and apple. There is just a touch of oak and malo. Acidity is very precise, not overbearing. Really lovely stuff.

Flavors of apple and pear with light toast and light oak, vibrant and pleasant acidity, well balanced.

Marzipan kerosine. Monodimensional.
