This is very good Chardonnay. Vanilla and a little caramel on the nose, darkish, and tastes fantastic (if you like french oak). Very much a french style chard.

Deep yellow, almost opaque. Vanilla, toasted oak nose. Super oaky and buttery. A little too rich for my taste, but typical of California chard in my opinion.

Strong almost Rhone-like nose with full body and powerful aromas. I prefered the subtly and minerality of the 2002 but this is also an excellent wine. More French in style than Californian but still very big.
