This was decisively Cali chardonnay. Despite being 13.5%, it had a clear richness and mouth-filling quality that for me is unmistakably CA. I personally thought the acidity was a touch low for the power and voluptuousness of this wine, but that may be my bias at play.
Clearly an outstanding wine and a phenomenal effort, albeit maybe not to my preference. 92-93ish

Plenty of acid left. More than the color would lead you to believe. But if you like aged California chardonnay, this won't disappoint.

Darker color, heavy on the oak, almost burnt like. Still pleasant after a while in the glass. Drink.

Best California Chardonnay I have ever had. Very rich but with ample acidity and minerality, even more impressive now due to its age.
