The previous review is on target. This wine needs to breathe. I returned my first bottle because the cork broke and it seemed excessively harsh. Cork broke in 2nd bottle too so gave it a chance anyway. After getting some air it's interesting, has some complexity, might hope for a little more smoothness, but good at this price.

Bought several bottles from WineLibrary text message special. Typical west coast chardonnay. A lot of flavor, oak, medium-full body. Maybe it's getting late to be drinking 2017. I would take Landmark over this for finesse, or Hess for lower cost.

Ok, especially after it breathed for an hour or so. Had it with grilled pork chops. We noticed the earthy/leather aspect. No floral notes, or even a hint of sweetness. These days I'm looking for more balance and was hoping for something a little more pleasant. Hope there was not a problem in how I stored it but other wines have been fine.
