  A really great go-to Chardonnay that never seems to disappoint. Balances minerality with only hints of oak and butter but with a really nice fruit profile and mouthfeel. An especially-good finish makes it easy to pass on dessert in lieu of one last glass. It finished nicely.

  Pale yellow in color. Takes a while for the nose to open up, but eventually reveals apple with vanilla notes. Apple flavors on the attach, with lemon and melon palate. Nice mouthfeel without being creamy. Decent length finish.

  Oily yellow. Rich, buttery nose. This is excellent, creamy. Excellent texture, richness and mouthfeel, with layers of yellow fruit flavors. Just enough acid to give it a nice structure. Fine finish, and fine all around. 5-13-17-9: 94/100.

  Really my style of California Chardonnay; I love this clone! Deep, rich, bright and lustrous yellow. Oily and viscous in the extreme, it really presents well. Nose just absolutely jumps out at you with exotic banana fruit and creamy vanillin oak. Continues on the palate with broad, rich fruit nicely balanced by acidity. A bit steely on the finish (or is that just the last vestiges of my head cold playing tricks?). Anyway, lots to love, and especially complex and nuanced. 5-14-16-9: 94/100.
