  Lovely dark gold color. Needed about 20 minutes to open up. Would have benefited from a decant. Super rich, deep Chard. Really good and a lot of life left!

  New Year Eve: Nose: Suggests a degree of neutrality and a hint of butter.
  Palate: {Med body, nice fruit, light touch of oak and hint of butter as promised on the nose . Nice integration of fruit and acid with lingering finish. A pleasure to drink alone or with food.

  2023 New Years Eve: As nice as this was, it was clearly the odd man out in our chardonnay lineup. More full bodied, apple, pear, peach, butterscotch and oaky spice.

  New Years Eve (Rocknroller's (Kevin & Vicki's Place)): Light medium gold color. Drank a glass over an hour plus. This was bigger, peppery, lemon, a bit of brine, oak, with a white pepper finish.

  2023 New Years Eve Celebration! (Kevin's House): Big, rich CA Chardonnay! This Chardonnay is what it is....some (like me) will love it, others (especially Francophiles) not so much! This is right in my wheelhouse for Chardonnay. Definitely, 100% American!
  
  Nose is floral with white flowers, some stone fruit and some butterscotch. Palate is chalked full of fruit, ranging from pear to various stone fruits to Gala apples, coupled with a healthy dose of toasted oak and a slightly butterscotch finish. Delicious! 94 points for my palate and very friendly, crowd pleasing Chardonnay for sure! My favorite of all the still whites!
