Tasted this several years ago, and it is diminutive comparatively. Lemon plate is subdued with the acid much softer and more approachable from the earlier bottle. Mineral content still a highlight as well. Drink up on the remaining bottles.

Pale yellow in color. Perhaps they were too cold, but served blind with 2018 North Valley Chardonnay and they weren’t terribly different. Terms used to describe it were, lemony, and sweet-tart candy. Fruit was noticeable. Some described as tart.

This drinks more like a California chardonnay than Oregon. Warm vintage chard with too much oak. It's full of butter and vanilla, viscous in the mouth.. Still a good wine but I very much prefer the 2011. This does not warrant it's price tag.

Lemon, mineral. Great acidity and balance. Ready to drink...not a lot of upside
