Golden yellow. Fresh tropical fruit in the nose; pretty. Lots of vanillan oak but not oaky or woody. Palate is full and has nice ripe banana, papaya and tropical fruit flavors and shows nice balance. Shys away from the "fat" and alcoholic style of other chardonnays but still has plenty of charm and a lot to like. 4-12-16-7: 89/100.

butter and lima beans.... I don't know what's wrong with this bottle or if this is what they were going for but it's terrible.

Very nice wine. Has a delayed pear taste with a very nice smooth finish.

Fantastic carneros chard. Minerally with a hint of spice and not much oak. Closest thing to a Montrachet Burgundy on this side of the pond.

A very good Chardonnay. Some tropical notes in the aroma, good fruit with a balanced finish.
4+11+16+7+50=88
