At it's peak IMHO! Showing perfect balance, finesse, big nuts, pears and spiced apples, good acidity in a Mearsault like package. Again, showing the aging potential of CA chardonnay.

Medium straw to light gold in colour with a medium+ intense nose. Positives: Lots of flavour and good balance between tropical and citric fruit featuring medium+ toasted oak, lots of butter, lemon, butterscotch, mango, pineapple, cinnamon apple, marzipan and limestone. Medium+ body, good acidity and a fairly long length. Negatives: A little sourness on the finish. Interesting Things: Always nice to see a California Chard under 14% alcohol and not lose the creaminess. A day later the taste was equally good with less sourness on the finish. Drink now on its own or pair it with grilled pork tenderloin with a peach & mango glaze. Tasted: 3 Aug 12 Best Buy Score: 9+/10, Value: 9+/10, Total: 18.5/20 Out of 5 stars, I rated this wine 4.5

Nose:apple, mineraly, clean; taste/mouth feel: apple, other fruit, medium body, bright yet substantial; finish: minerals, subtle fruit, possibly vanilla. Great value for the price, by our standards. Expected good white wine from Chalk Hill, but bottle seemed a bit underpriced, so we withheld opinion until tasted. Enjoyed very much indeed

Nice, inexpensive, expressive, tasty but a touch too oaky
