April 30, 2017 - Clear, medium lemon.
A nose of buttery oak, white nuts, citrus lemon, accompanied also by a touch of nectarine and vanilla on the palate. Medium acidity, medium body, medium finish.
Rather heavy on the front-palate; this moved towards a lighter, cleaner lemony finish. Even so the acidity was a little lacking throughout. To me, this is a wine already approaching old age, which makes the heavy-handed oak treatment even more obvious. Nice enough for a casual drink. Do not hold. -

98% Quail Hill Chard. -

November 22, 2015 - Lovely citrusy floral smell - taste starts off buttery but then moves into citrusy sweeter flavors with a hint of minerality. Nice long finish. Tasted even better when allowed to open up a little. This is a different chardonnay that I would buy again.
