Still very fresh on the fruit but of course also developed. The acidity has gone down a little and oaky notes of butter and fudge are up front. Drinks very well now but probably even better a few years ago. Wouldn't wait further for this wine.

Lovely, fresh, open but rounded Chardonnay, with medium oak, moderate acidity, in harmony. Will never be great, but will always be very well worth drinking! Oak gives it some sweetness, and it's probably loswt some of the green flavours from its youth, but it's drinking nicely and should last a few more years. I think I preferred this to the Sonoma Coast Chardonnay that they hada the tasting last year, but they were both good. Fine QPR.

Not at all what I remember from when I tasted this a few years back. It's showing way too much oak at this point, and has lost the crisp lemon and creamy nutty flavors that it once had when it was young. It actually got better after sitting in the fridge overnight, but still way too much oak.

Simple, some oak, tastes of Chardonnay nicely. Not too much butter or oak, and good acidity. Will pair well with food. Quality and inexpensive!

slightly acidic, but nice overall. Long-ish finish.
