2008 Seavey Vineyard ChardonnayNapa Valley more |
2/17/2015 - Jmb4263 wrote: 92 pointsVery different in profile from the later years (2010, 2011) with significantly more oak. Oak has integrated well into the wine and its showing very well at the moment. Full bodied with hints of oak and fuller fruit but delicious for those who enjoy a more full body, older chard. Drinking well now but could go for a few more years. |
