  This six-year-old Single Vineyard Chardonnay is drinking very nicely now.
  
  Full-bodied, creamy and buttery, with medium acidity.
  
  Showing cedar, vanilla, spices, lemons, apples, pears, melons and white pepper.
  
  Not my style, but a good quality wine. A little okey for me, and hot and unbalanced.
  
  14.2% alcohol by volume.
  
  90 points.
  
  $40.

  Over the hill, but at the same time keeps me going back for another sip for some reason. Very dark gold color with a lot of butterscotch notes on the nose and palate. Moderate acidity. The main issue is the alcohol has kicked into high gear, so it's pretty unbalanced at this point. Probably a year too late, but interesting nonetheless.
