  Nothing no the nose at first. Eventually you get some mango (?), green apple, and white flowers. Nice concentration. Long finish. A touch hot for my palate but good balance otherwise. Citrus peel, pith. Don't find much oak, you could convince me of some vanilla and baking spice though.

  Always super yummy. My preference is for a bit less new oak but it retained a vibrant acidity which keeps it fresh. Lovely mix of citrus and stone fruit with the minerality that a good RRV wine should have. The primary flavors are a bit muted at fridge temp but definitely come out to play as it warms a bit. The finish is perhaps medium-plus in length and quite pleasant with a touch of spice.

  Just like two earlier bottles. This is a "different" chardonnay. I wish I could describe it more specifically. I just like it.

  Day 1: Pop and pour. This is good but not worth $45 compared to the Adelsheim Staking Claim I just had which was under $30. Oak, vanilla, spice, ripe pear, minerals and orange zest. Medium finish but acidity is lacking here. 90 points
  Day 2: Not much different and has oak, vanilla, burnt toast, spice, ripe pear and minerals. While this is not a bad wine it just does not justify a $45 price tag on sale. 90 points
  Day 3: Similar and the oak influence has not died down. This is an easy pass for me as the oak gets in the way of the fruit.
  Recommendation: If you like oak this might be for you but those who like more balanced wines an easy pass.
