  This is your grandmother's chardonnay. The wine smells of popcorn, butter and rubber along with yellow apple and pear. The palate it is much the same as well, but with medium-low acidity. This is the typical buttery chardonnay character that people either love or hate. I typically like it when it is done well, but I think in this case there is a little too much manipulation going on for me to score it any higher.

  Vineyard planted in 1976. No new oak. Medium plus nose shows butterscotch, vanilla wafer, golden apple, candied spice. Palate gives similar fruit but surprising acidity for CA style. Very cool climate region shows through, deep citrus layers, riper tones are more muted and gives balance. Really nice style and value.

  I was a little nervous since the 2017 is so flabby and dull. This has the same tropical fruit up front but also has good energy and lift. Nice!
