  April 2, 2013 - Tropical fruit and apple, a hint of sweet oak. Solid finish. Not the best WO Chardonnay I've had, but very good with a 90 min decant.

  August 25, 2012 - A blind drinker would view this as joyous, even outstanding, and never guess it as a Cali Chard. Such an imbiber would not be bothered by this one flaw...cloudy, cloudy, cloudy. But also Racy, racy, racy, a la a high end Chablis. Still a brilliant gold, not like the '06 Chard we had the prior nite, which was more more amber-hued and more advanced (but NOT pre-moxed, FWIW). Long finish and well-balanced unless you grew up on Rombauer Chards. No signs of fatigue (as if I would know that in a Chard). I have one more...and will try holding it for 5 more years, as I think this could go 5-10 more years.

  September 23, 2011 - Very nice Chardonnay. Beautiful fruit along with very pleasant secondary characteristics. Rich and creamy texture.

  September 11, 2011 - third bottle from a six pack. do I score this or rate is as flawed?
  
  this is the third bottle i've had and all 3 have been then same. cloudy and foggy. not a clear looking white as you would expect. the taste seems to be of as well. very flat with little to no acidity. almost tastes like bottled apple juice. Not sure if these are flawed wines or if this is something that will fix itself over the next few years. the bottles have been perfectly stored since i got them.
  
  i'm really hoping that i didn't get a bad batch as i love windy oaks wines
