November 23, 2023 - Tastes like Thanksgiving
June 18, 2023 - A little advanced in color but no taste of oxidation. Citrus forward. Full bodied but bright and pleasing.
May 18, 2023 - Very nice
September 30, 2022 - Very floral nose. Subtle at first, but builds into a jazzy finish. Some saline and peach notes. Flowers Chardonnay or Pinot Noir is always a good choice. Paired with fresh, live New Hampshire lobster.
September 24, 2022 - Subtle tropical fruit, not over oaked, nice long finish.
August 18, 2022 - Very decent Chard.
July 16, 2022 - A pricey gem of a wine which is not really not style of choice in a chardonnay. Quite expressive nose of lemon and perhaps citrus to the point where I re-checked bottle to make sure it was a Chard. Steel feeling start which leads to more lemon, and the tiniest of cedar wood. Finish is acidic and notable for its length. Still young and worth aging for another 1-2 years. Should resolve better.
May 17, 2022 - Retail $38. Heavy bottle. Under DIAM10. My wife was not feeling well, so she suggested that her three boys (my two sons and me) head out to a relatively new local restaurant that has a limited menu, but a decent wine program. OK! I opted for this bottle of Flowers Chard; the sparkling wines were less than compelling and since it was another 90°+ day here in Houston, I was not feeling a red. Flowers has long been a favorite of mine (even after the sale) and this is an example why. Yellow (if not golden) in the glass with a rich nose of lemon curd, acacia flower, and a bit of oak. The palate is quite fantastic, with that rich fruit, a clingy acidity, and a lengthy finish. OK. Whoa.
