Nose was pretty muted, but presence of lemon and maybe a hint of pineapple rind. Nice tannin structure, and a bit of alcohol showed on the finish but it was a good burn. Slight oily texture and didn't notice any oak. Lemon, papaya skin, and a quick zing of green apple

I liked this a lot. It is a big bold California Chardonnay that make it's mark with a combination of both fruit and non fruit components. There is a streak of spicy rhubarb and guava flavors that enhance the typical Chardonnay flavors of peach, honey and pineapple. Nice job combining a rich, leesy, oily lanolin characteristic with sharp, crisp tropical fruit. Nicely integrated oak.
