  clean
  clear straw to gold
  medium nose intensity, maybe a hint of mango, pineapple
  medium alcohol
  medium plus body, viscous, oily on the palate
  medium acidity
  Medium intensity on the palate, hard to single out fruit maybe a hint of lee contact
  overall medium mannered, drinkable, but not a great joy / calorie ratio

  A flinty, lemony chardonnay. A steal at this price, considering how many things could go wrong at this price point.

  Surprisingly good for a barrel aged Central Coast Chardonnay at 5 years old. While the fruit is in decline, the acidity has held it together.

  Have enjoyed 4 bottles now and starting to stock up more - each bottle as satisfying as the last, and great value. Has been surprising how many occasions we have chosen this wine when we would have previously chosen a red. Full and flavorful, not too much oak.

  Nice yellow Color in a medium bodied chard. Peach bouquet. Little evidence of oak . Very good for the price.
