Upon opening this was forward showing peach, petrol and pineape notes. As it opened the layers of orchard fruit, spice and rich pastery unfold. Well balanced and rich chardonnay.
Consistent with note earlier this year.

Nose: Explosive nose of apple, pineapple, almond, orange peel, slight oxidation and spices. Palate: Dense texture, pastery, almond paste, baked apple, ginger and a touch of lemon. This is beautiful visous and mature. Finish: notable lingering spice and intense orchard fruit.
Gorgeous wine.

Last bottle and best yet. This was like a chameleon changing throughout the night. After being open for 30-45 minutes, the oak came through, leading to butterscotch and eventually citrus. 94+

Another fantastic bottle of this chardonnay, and it has not moved much in a year. Rich, layered and complex with nice Sweet Citrus, Cured Lemon, Creme Brulee, Grilled Pineapple, Honey and all spice notes.
This is absolutely perfect with lobsters. Will likely drink my last one in the fall.

Awesome!! Wildly intense and rich flavors, but carries hardly any weight. Rockincabs' note is perfect. In addition, I'm getting macadamia and graham cracker on the nose, and grilled pineapple, white chocolate s'mores, and lemon curd flavors. Finish is superlong. Slight booziness towards the end keeps it a just out of world-class territory. Elite Cali chard at 1/2 the price.
