Very enjoyable, could probably use another year. Lots of butter, stone and tropical fruits, but still a bit of unresolved oak which requires some additional cellaring. Acidity supports a long finish.

If you want a good California chard, this is one that has more oak influence than fruit. Not something I want everyday but every so often I like a glass of CA chard

Structured and well base But still young and lacking some of the opulence that will come in 1-2 more years. Plenty of oak and sweet tropical fruits balanced seamlessly by salinity. Big but restrained in the grand scheme of California Chardonnay.

Nicely integrated oak with this. Just enough butter and coconut to make it pleasant and some great mango and other tropical fruits. Great texture without being too creamy. Would like to have another one of these.

Pleasant California Chardonnay with mix of tropical and stone fruit, moderate oak and light acidity.
