The Flowers Sonoma Coast is drinking well now, and should be consumed. Medium honey colored and a bit cloudy. Nose of fragrant citrus and candied lemon scents with some vanilla and hints of smoke. Pretty full in the mouth, but the oak characteristics are the dominant flavors. The fruit is there, but the oak seems to get the better of it. A good medium length finish that wonderfully ends with lemon flavors. Overall, I enjoyed this wine.

Nice, pleasant wine. With air, it developed a bit of creaminess. Not too oaky. Pleasant, but not especially memorable.

Pleasant enough California Chardonnay. Big and rich, but alcoholic and oaky. Good tropical fruit flavors, but it seemed a bit awkward. OK.
