Solid straw color with a very light gradient. A good viscosity and medium-heavy legs. Peach and lime nose. Sweet cotton candy with a bit of wet stone.
Fruity at first then builds a bit more complex and chalky. Medium to light tannins with a good mouthfeel. Very little alcohol in the finish and lots of wet stone and chalk. Taste is much different then nose with the nose being more fruit forward and the mouth being more earth and stone flavors. Enjoyable.

Surprising and different. Ripe yellow pear and strongly honeyed aromas. Sweet, thick honey notes dominate in this rather full-bodied Chardonnay that is almost too succulent. Some may find this too unctuous and borderline flabby

Sort of disappointing. Not well balanced; a little too sweet. At its best well-chilled. Fruity and maybe too lush. Which isn't to say it wasn't very drinkable. Just not the best example of a wine that has been a real winner over the years. Keeping my fingers crossed for the remaining bottles I have.

Certainly still going strong. Buttery and caramelly, but with a nice bitter balance. A little hot, but also rich and thick.

Very ripe and bordering on unctuous. Pleasing tonight but not a wine for long-term aging, just for now.
