Extremely nice. Very pure fruit with almost no oak evident and some tannins. Some caramel notes...Very pure fruit but not a fruit bomb. Everything you would expect from a boutique, high end California chardonnay. Not sure why I rated it a point lower than last time I tried it, maybe just a phase it's going through. Obviously mature and ready to drink...looooooong finish...stays with you forever.

Bottle was corked big time. Might be time to polish off the 2011 vintage as it's getting a little long in the tooth I think.
