Bickel: Darker gold, nice caramel notes, hint smokey for sure--nutty; richy viscous mth, oily, but still in bal.--ample pique at end, oak. Very good, full flavored chard.

From the winery: Initially a bit reticent in the glass, (this wine) opens up to dsplay lemon drop, orange blossom, smoke and grilled nuts in the aroma. On the palate, this wine has firm structure and acidity with strong mineral notes. The elegant texture gives way to a rich and lingering finish.

Too much oak for my taste. Decent acidity.

another great QPR chardonnay. Had this along side the '04 Domaine Alfred Estate Chard, and preferred this wine.

Very enjoyable. A nice balance of fruit, oak, and mineral components. Refreshing and not too heavy.
