Rich, golden yellow. Nose and taste dominated by oak barrel fermentation, yet chardonnay fruit comes thru. Like so many California Chardonnays, the winemaking choices — in this case the intense oak — dominate what the vineyard offers. Hard to tell what the future portends.

Dark golden yellow. Some light citrus aromas, but dominated by oak. Flavors of butter, carmel and blended citrus, in that order. If you like buttery chardonnay, here's your wine!

I was set to write a tasting note and then I saw Tantotinto tasting note below and that's everything I wanted to say! So I'll just point you down one post and save myself and others from reading a duplicate.

Not much nose. Ripe apple and pear, vanilla, a little spice, creamy texture, medium weight and a tart finish. One of the better Chardonnay's that I have tasted at this price point.

Not a favorite. Had an odd flavor profile that neither my wife or I cared for.
