I think this is pretty well made but it just isn't in my wheelhouse anymore. We drank it along with a Picq Chablis and that's just where my tastes are now. This was fairly rich wih some oak and vanilla cream, whereas the Chablis was more chiseled, acidic and minerally. I'll pass on these from now on.

Really enjoyed this wine last night. Aromas of citrus/lime with some mineral. Tart apple and pear, some cream, popped corn and a little oak. My tastes have shifted more towards white burgundy as I like the lemon, acid and minerality, but this was very nice and we both enjoyed it.

Very pleasant wine that I brought along to a new neighborhood byo. Light apple taste with just a hint of oak, and everything in balance.

2009 California Chardonnays (Bi-weekly group blind tasting at Tom's House): Blind tasting of 8 2009 California Chardonnays. Group's #4, my #5.
I could not place the nose at all, it was subtle. Maybe a little green apple and tobacco aroma?
Another burning hot finish on this one.
