Light golden color. Needed some significant time to breathe (30-45 minutes). Early flavor, with a light body. Very light finish. Was probably a bit past its prime (1 year or more)

A still Chardonnay by the famous Champagne makers, this wine is a very pleasant Carneros, CA Chard. Soft nose. A little more like a French Chard -- not really buttery and easy on the oak. It is light-to-medium bodied, gracefully fruity, easy to drink. The name probably prevents it from being a really good value. It's a nice glass of wine with just enough acidity to shine with light fare.

Rich gold coloring, with sumptuous aromas of tropical fruit and buttery toast. Rich, full-bodied, with good weight, a creamy mouthfeel and a lingering finish.

Very ripe fruit, very rich. Nicely integrated oak. Drinking well despite all the concentration, as a good balance is maintained.

Kept it a bit too long but still had a nice finish.
