  Nice richness. Not overblown. Plenty of fruit. Lovely Chardonnay with some age

  compared with 2009 (with W & S). Felt like 2008 was better upon first taste, but once 2009 opened up it had a better flavor. Both were good.

  Nice rich fruit - but staying away from buttery richness. Lovely nose, nice acid and plenty of crispness.

  The color is a medium depth, straw yellow, the wine is clear and free of sediment and any haziness.
  The nose is quite strong and does show some age, the predominate note is oak and then tart lemon and lime. Like the 2010 I let it warm up quite a bit before making any conclusions but found that it didn't really improve as it warmed.
  
  On the palate this wine is dry, light/medium bodied has good acidity that I would not quite call crisp but very close. The tannins are low and soft and there was no noticeable alcohol and the wine didn't feel as well balanced as the 2010 did. The oak seemed to be too heavy and fruit too tart and there were no real other flaws in the wine that I noticed. The same notes from the nose carried though into the palate as well.
  
  My overall impression is that this wine is only a year older than the 2010 but it shows very different right now. Maybe its transitioning into a more mature wine and the fruit is dropping out and its left with some fruit components and quite a bit of oak. Whatever place the wine is in its simply not as good as the 2010 today. That said everyone still enjoyed it and the wine was completely consumed and I feel it would have shown better with food.
  
  Recommended.

  A little more overt than I like in my chardonnay but not over the top. Good mineral qualities and a vanilla finish.
