Light, golden color. The nose is moderately intense with lovely vanilla, citrus fruit, and spice. In the mouth, this wine is nicely balanced with vanilla, marshmallow, apple, citrus, and spice. There is enough acidity to pull everything together in a taut package and enough balance to make this wine seem light on its feet. Overall, I really enjoyed this for its subtle nuance and balanced acidity. It was much better than my first bottle.

(Eric Kent Wine Cellars Chardonnay Sonoma Coast) A beautiful Chardonnay with flavors of lemon curd, Asian pear, vanilla bean, and white flowers. This is what California Chardonnay should be like: luscious, balanced, and highly complex. Cult Wines for Tough Times

Excellent as always. Pineapple, acidity, and some moderate oak.

Jill and Linda share the bottle with John and I in Philly with the boys overnight. Last of the vintage and enjoyed by them both.

Very pale, hardly any coolo. Nice green apple with a bit of citrus acidity. Cuts with a hint of butter on the finish

Drinking nicely. I think I have had better Eric Kent Chardonnay. I didn't really take great notes.
