Nice fruit. Prominent oak with decent acids lends itself to a terrific mouth feel. A bit much on the wood for me, though. Hopefully wood integrates with more time.
A Day 2 update: 1/2 bottle left under cork on counter. Oak has subsided and there is more integration. Wine is simply better with more balance albeit with trace oxidation. Perhaps more time is needed here.

Compared with the 2012 Cuvee Anne, this wine is the rich, and voluptuous experience...from an Oregon Chardonnay perspective. Seems like it saw a bit more oak, perhaps newer oak, and the acidity a mite less. This seems to be the more serious of the pair we had. Lovely.

Joan and I really liked this wine. Showed nice complexity and a joy to drink with haddock. Love.

Popped and poured. Typically not a Chardonnay fan, but this was nice and bright not too heavy.
