Nose is all vanilla and oak. Tastes citrusy, high acid, some oak but not as much as anticipated (25% new French). Full malo. 14+% alcohol. Not bad, not outstanding.

The nose was rich and ample showing sweet brown spices over ripe pear, peach and hints of lemon curd. On the palate, I found soft textures which enveloped the senses, leaving notes of vanilla-infused ripe stone fruits with sweet buttery resonance in their wake. It finished medium-long with ripe stone fruit persistence and hints of sweet herbs. It's an old-school style of California Chardonnay that will appeal to those who miss the buttery giants on the past, yet there's wonderful balance to be found within.
