While I can appreciate the effort, this is not my style of a modern Cali chardonnay. You would think with 9 years under its belt that the acidity would be more settled and not overwhelm the fruit but here it does. Just difficult to find balance among the tangy fruit (mainly tangerine).

Wonderfully balanced - vanilla butterscotch apple tropical fruit pushes against fresh lime zest acidity. Good persistence on front part of tongue. Great w romaine and fresh orange salad w honey lemon vinagrette. Yum.

Still a lot of acid, structure and fruit. Very nice.
