Elegant & balanced with nice weight and ample acid. A true taste of the Sonoma Coast. Sea salt and Kalamata olive brine, with honeycomb, unripe pear, and umeboshi.
Outstanding with a seafood-focused tasting at Kong Hans Kælder in Copenhagen.

Same as my note two years ago, except it has put on weight. Beautiful gold. Medium bodied. Acid. Exotic. Some pear, butter, popcorn, but not overpowering. Just about perfection for a domestic chardonnay.

At first glance, a fairly rich wine, (for West Sonoma producers, anyway) but on balance it has a subtle balance of fruit and acidity.

Very enjoyable. A tick behind the ‘09 as this was a bit broader and less persistent.

Surprisingly rich for the year, especially on the second day.
