  This lovely Chardonnay from Santa Barbara County was slightly diminished by its age. Now dark gold but we’ll balanced tho’ more acidity would have helped. Pear and caramel notes with some citrus. This was not a big, oaky, buttery Chard but in my opinion the better for it. Glad I drank it now, maybe held a bit too long but the age on this wine was very appealing.

  This took 5 or 10 minutes to come together after PnP, but boy it really delivered a nice experience when it did. Creamy oak tones have integrated nicely with pear compote and pineapple. Held up well. Drink.

  This wine seems to be fading already, it was a bit flabby, and the fruit faded a bit in the glass with each pour, in other words, in only 10 or 15 minutes. Drink it now. Tropical fruits, a bit of creamy oak but not too much. Low in acidity. Nose had good spice.

  Bitter backbone, caramel flavors suggest this bottle is either past or got baked. Cork got stuck but did come out clean eventually. Tropical fruits were muted. An opulent style, honeyed, oak in the background. Low acidity. Perhaps another bottle will show better, but this wine could be aging quickly.
