This is a very good Chardonnay, very subtle not an in-your-face wine. Get florals and definitely a fresh lemon with slight oak as a backdrop. Well balanced with a tart acidity along with a bit of creaminess; very refreshing. More Old World in profile than classic Cali Chard

This was drinking really well and I even broke my "let it sit for 2 months" rule. This seems to be coming from higher-end grapes than my previous DN chards. Beautiful light color, modest nose with a deft touch of oak. On the palate, meduim+ bodied, some creamy oak notes without being oak-forward...and a balancing acidity. Wife loved it, she likes bigger chards vs my leaner preference. There seems to be more, might make a move on more.
