Largely consistent with my '13 note. I disagree w/ the previous reviewer's estimation that there's no noticeable oak—it is balanced IMO, but most definitely present, which brings some nice complexity for my palate. Light to medium golden in color. Aromas of yellow apple, buttered popcorn, sliced almonds, caramel, and interestingly, cotton candy. Full bodied with medium(+) acid and finish, and flavors of yellow apple, pineapple, caramel corn, almond, and a light mineral streak. Quality chard for 20 bones.

Pretty floral and spice nose (nutmeg?). Very nice mouthfeel. If there was any oak it is not noticable. Melon, apple and maybe fig with a nice finish that has some complexity. I was unfamiliar with this wine and was pleasantly surprised. This is still drinking very nicely. It was a gift so I don't know the price but if the 21.00 price listed here is correct, this is a wonderful value.

Plenty of chardonnay character. Not yet fading, with 5+ years remaining.
