Really great vintage for this wine. Well balanced with a combination of citrus and cream. Not Tart with enough acid to hold to all in balance. Nose shows the citrus- lemon and grapefruit. Palate shows the fresh cream without being overpowering.

I decided to try a young one, we got these about two weeks ago. We normally drink them older, and all of the WS Chardonnays are complex and wonderful after two or three years, or more, in the bottle. But we were making Dover sole with a lemon cream sauce tonight, and I wanted to open this. Great decision. Medium golden color. Complex nose, lemon and honey. The lemon on the palate jumped out with the lemon cream sauce. The palate was bright and refreshing, but had plenty of structure and balance. In addition to the citrus, I got honeysuckle, pears, a bit of maple syrup (not enough to be cloying, just a nice compliment). Long, complex finish. We dined extremely well tonight.

Incredible mouth feel. it starts with a burst of Key Lime and finishes with butterscotch candy. A great Chardonnay!
