Not quite sure if I let it age too long. It was not the vibrant chardonnay that I remember from the Martenelli Winery. It is a little flat. I can still taste the buttery flavor. The lemon and apple is not so crisp.

Rather flat on the finish, and probably because of its age. Good depth and golden glycerine like mouthfeel, but seemed to die on the mid to back palate with a fading finish. Good fruit, but mostly hints of what it once was.
Drink now.

Rich and buttery, with tropical fruits, citrus and honey all encased in an oaky frame; This is not a shy or restrained chardonnay, but does have some balancing acidity that made it enjoyable; Fans of rich California chardonnay should be pleaseed
