  Pop and pour, consumed over 3 hours. Appearance: Clear, medium lemon. Nose: Clean, medium+ intensity with developed aromas of honey, butter, tropical fruit - pineapple and mango, dried apricot, and vanilla. Palate: Dry, medium- acid, medium+ body and intensity with flavors of tropical fruit, dried apricot, and vanilla with a lengthy finish. Outstanding wine drinking at it's peak, drink now or within 3 years.

  Pop and pour, consumed over 3 hours. Nose: Medium intensity, lemon, green apple, pencil lead, and hints of licorice. Palate: Full bodied, nice creamy mouth-feel, green apple and tropical fruit attack, medium acidity, stone and flint notes appear in the back-end. Finish: Medium-plus length showing tart citrus and licorice. Pretty typical big oaked Napa Chardonnay which many like, myself included.

  Tasted non blind.
  
  Light yellow to yellow color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of hazelnuts, brown spices and brandy soaked pears. Flavors of yellow pears, apples, lemon curd and a dash of minerals. Medium acidity, full bodied. Drink over the short term.

  Just fantastic. Yes it has fairly heavy oak but I love that this is a heavy napa Chardonnay and I had this with a very rich liver and onion salad. Worked perfectly and this wine is a treat
