  A huge improvement over my last bottle of Hobbs Chardonnay, the Ulises Valdez was very juicy and full of very bold lemon, tangerine and peach flavors. Quintessential Sonoma: the cool climate makes for deeper flavor and better balance.

  That's a nose like I've never smelled (smelt?) before. There seem to be diverse descriptions on CT, but all seem to agree it's a luscious nose. I'm a little transported to Asia, so I've got to go with white flowers, honeysuckle, pear, and a hint of jasmine. Fresh on the palate, white peaches, delicious. Long finish. A wine to be savored.

  A wonderful, sultry buttery caramel on the nose. The palate is rich with oak and butter with lemon zest on the finish which really helps balance the wine out.

  Not the Rombauer style I like the most, but still quite good
