In better shape than the last bottle. Kind of a big and oaky rendition of Chard. Lots of flavor, rich mouthfeel, a little bitterness. Not really my jam, but it was okay for a glass.

From a recent auction "mystery pack" of well-stored Herb Farm collection wines. 6300 bottles produced. 13.7% abv. Not much going on with this wine as the fruit seems to have mostly faded. Some phenolic bitterness as well on the finish. If scoring now, somewhere in the 82 - 84 range.

(Mark Ryan Winery Chardonnay Columbia Valley) Lightly colored. An engaging nose with mineral, wood, lemon, melon, and toasted oak. Surprisingly weighty on the tongue. Rounded and very well put together with lots of lemon notes. 6,300 cases produced. 13.9% alcohol.

Super crisp, really enjoyed it with dinner. Fun nose with an awkward finish upon first opening, but turned out quite nice.

Lovely surprise. We generally don't like chardonnay, but this was the winner of the night. Great with guacamole.
