at the time of its release, and still to this day, I think it one of the best Morning Fog Chardonnay's I have tried ... But that was then and this, is now. I was not surprised by its rich golden colour, nor by the nose of almond skin, praline, a little smoky, caramel apple - and over the course of about half an hour it developed a slight creamed corn note. The palate is very much a let down, although there was really good acidity still, there was also peach pit, buttered toffee, touch a almond/praline and before you smelled it you could taste those hints of creamed corn. It's definitely a wine that has seen better days ... The good news is the current release (2013) reminds me of the 2007 - so buy it now and drink much sooner.

Found this wine at Newbury General store. Had with sauteed scallops and it was a good match. Fruity, medium bodied and easy to drink

With chicken, again very subtle but nice flavors, a bit smoky, with clean finish.
