I first met Jason Goelz in San Francisco at a steak house near my hotel. He is a charming fellow, with a beautiful winemaker of a wife (her brand is Alara Cellars). The fruit all comes from the Central Coast and the wines are magnificent. This Reserve Chardonnay is not an exception: fruity with just the right amount of oak, this is a middle of the road Chardonnay. It is not exceedingly fruity with no hints of wood, but neither is it an over-the-top buttery, oaky Chard that turns off so many these days. It is a Goldilocks wine, so to speak, that seems "just right." thedrunkencyclist.com
