This was such a wonderful surprise and a great example to show California Chardonnay can handle some age. It had been purchased upon release. Golden fruits, well balanced and still crisp.

This continues to age ever so nicely. A warm rich mouthfeel with excellent balance. Custard and nuts developing on the palate. Finishing just a little short.

Loads of toasty oak, yet this frames the wine very well at this stage. Really very nice. Shows that Cali-chard (at least in some cases and styles) can age very gracefully. Still very much alive, with at least several years to go. Finish just a bit clipped.
