No specific notes, has some weight to it. Some oak with light butter, but nicely balanced with fruit and acid. Hits a sweet spot between old california chard and new.

Straw color. Green apple. Touch of new oak. Big wine! Some nice nuances and details for such a mouth-filling wine. Great acidity in the very long finish. Excellent and impressive!

Obviously still young so the jury remains out. Perhaps a little less fruit than past vintages but always well made, clean and balanced. Will wait a few months before popping the next bottle.

I'm not going to say I'm have the most nuanced palate with regard to Chardonnay, though I've had my share. But this Journeyman is simply excellent. A great balance of oak and whistle clean Chardonnay taste, delicately layered and with excellent staying power. We served another bottle of this a few weeks back to a hard core (though inexpensive) Chardonnay drinker and she was astonished. I'll continue to buy Journeyman in the future.
