14.1% alcohol; 'Sonoma Coast', NY Wine Club premium selection, distributed by Global Wine Co.; heavy weight foil, real cork, long legs, amber color; nose of fruit and alcohol, traces of vanilla and lychee; tasted at ca 14 degrees C; a complex layered wine with some restraint but not too much in any one direction; no unpleasant Beigeschmack, nice balance, including the finish, some citrus and sweeter fruit; nevertheless not especially fruit forward; little trace of buttery quality or secondary malolactic fermentation, an outstanding chardonnay, cries out for pairing with Chilean Sea Bass, preferably grilled on a cedar board

While this clearly had the ripest fruit of the group, it was not over the top in any way and was very enjoyable. Had it side by side with a 2010 Château de Chamirey Mercurey Blanc and 2015 Goodfellow Durant, and this fell in between the two for my preferences (liked the Goodfellow the best).

Refreshing and expertly balanced. Medium acidity. Some oak, citrus, lemon, pineapple, honeysuckle and beautiful minerality. This is excellent.

A very nice smooth mouth feel on this wine. Nice long finish. Some honey suckle and green apple aromas and flavors. Aging nicely.
