  Nose has hint of yeast, vanilla and a pop sickle stick aromas. Palate is round, full and lush with a cream finish. Still solid and enjoyable. Had the same experience at the winery as AFKetter, and AFKetter's assessment still rings true.

  This seems to have more oak influence than I recall from previous tastings. With this bottle I get a lot of vanillin obscuring the fruit notes. 14.3% abv. and a medium gold color with transparency. I liked this better when the oak was more subtle.

  This hits my sweet spot between malolactic fermentation and crispness. I enjoyed this at a tasting at the winery, and purchased a bottle. It did not disappoint. Buttery and oakey, but not over-the-top. Wish I had more

  I included this in a winetasting fundraiser at church. Of four Chardonnays this seemed to be in the middle ground between full-bodied and oaky and brighter, crisper, without noticeable oak. It is fermented in French oak barrels and then transferred to neutral oak barrels for further aging. I found it both tangy and spicy and distinctive from the other Chardonnays in the tasting. The alcohol was labeled at 14.3% abv.
