  November 24, 2009 - Cakebread makes a good chard. This was had a nice clean taste, though it lacked any real complexity.

  January 31, 2009 - Gourgeous golden color. Was initially concerned that it would be too "syrupy" like come Chards can be when the are "past their prime". Was not the case here at all. If you have, drink with confidence. We had with Red Snapper and polenta and was a wonderful compliment. Good structure and clean tatse with a hint of oak. This is the embodiment of a "buttery" Chardonnay. Other comments are a a bit harsh b/c of what is expected from Cakebread. It's not the best, but it's a good wine.

  May 11, 2008 - Another great bottle of Cakebread Chardonnay. Ironically better than the reserve. Honey and nutmeg on the nose with citrus notes. Clean slate, vanilla and oak on the palate. An excellent bottle anytime, but mated extremely well with this dish.

  November 10, 2007 - Still good, despite a drinking window that ended in 2006. Nice nose with tastes of butter and oak, as typical with Cakebread chards. Not as good as the Private Reserve, but good.
  
  Drank for Kelly's birthday dinner at Vin Santo with Katy and Sean.
