I bought this wine in April, 2008. I liked it then, loved it now. Most of the oak is gone, and while it has that buttery flavor common to many Napa Chardonnays, it was fruity yet mild, but had enough going for it to be wonderful with cedar-plank grilled salmon. There was some crystallization/sediment in the bottom of the bottle, but it filtered out easily enough. I wish this particular vintage was still available at the Castello di Amorosa - I'd certainly buy more.

This bottle was better than the one we tasted back in September, 2011. No crystallization in this bottle. See note posted 9/12/2011
