  Light yellow, well balanced, restrained, Chardonnay with honey, pear and a hint of citrus. Sadly my last bottle.

  Smashing Chardonnay reflecting the very essence of California's Sonoma County.
  Focused core of dynamic flavors featuring vanilla poached pear, hazelnut and fig
  bar. Fantastic acidity and striking balance keep this vibrant white wine free flowing
  and pleasing throughout. Toasty oak on the illustrious, creamy finish flaunting butter
  scotch and grated nutmeg. Christmas Eve - served with first coarse of seared diver
  scallops w/fresh tarragon. Drink now and through next year. Tremendous QPR

  Exhilirating scents of the spice islands and a tempting, honey golden color grace
  this wonderful Sonoma County Chardonnay. A tapestry of vanilla nut, summer
  melon and shredded coconut are distinguished and detailed. Pretty, creamy fig
  upon entry shaded with papya and ripe pear with a dash of honeysuckle and
  toasted marshmallow. Fine balance and acidity frame all the tangy, dynamic
  flavors which linger on a finish dotted with hazelnut. Drink now through 2013.

  Light golden yellow in color. Nose is of average expression...telltale Cali Chard nose of tropical fruit and creaminess. On the palate, rich tropical fruit with just a hint of citrus. Citrus probably fading as I'm guessing the acidity might have had a better balancing affect a year ago. Stylistically, true to region...If you're into big, Cali Chard, its a solid, hangover inducing, caramel fruit dollop of a wine. If you're not, avoid. Pleased...but not blown away.
