  It was a nice wine, a very nice wine indeed, but in the context of competing with nine other superb US Chardonnays, it stood very little chance.
  A bit unfair, because by itself it's an excellent wine.
  Also, I felt it was way too young to drink now. Give it at least +5 years.

  Agreed - absolutely delicious and amazing QPR. Typical Cali style, but well done within that parameter!

  A totally delicious wine - - nice notes of pineapple and other tropical fruits on nose and palate. Drinking perfectly now, and I suspect it will go on for several years to come.

  Amazing QPR. RP 92 nailed it. Years of life.

  Medium gold color. Ripe peach and grapefruit aromas, flint, oak and florality. This Sonoma chardonnay is elegant and round, with a silky texture featuring peach and citrus on entry, flint in the mid-palate and a spicy lift in the finish.
