Butter bomb! And I quite like it. This wine is holding together quite well despite its age and the 14.5% alc is wrapped nicely into the mouthfeel and mix of fruit and buttery savory notes on the palate.

Light brassy gold colored luscious Huge fruit, candied Sweet Tart flavors Some butter rum Despite its huge upfront flavors and 14.5% This has so much going on that it doesn’t come off caricaturish but rather quite full and tasty. And it paired brilliantly with some spicy pork dumplings. Enjoy; if you like the style. I didn’t sense the heat at all served at cellar (59F) temp YFS

Simply beautiful. A more memorable Chardonnay than most we have had. Deeply layered with lasting notes of butter and oak - just how we like 'em. I typically don't score whites high but this was deserving of the rating.

We've tried the 2012 Sixto Uncovered and Moxee previously and the Frenchman Hills chardonnay exceeds those by a fairly wide margin. Great combination of rich, creamy mouthfeel with alluring flavors of apple, tropical fruit, beeswax, and creme brulee. Very pleasing overall. I'm hoping I can find more before it disappears!

Very rich full Cali style chard. Tasty spicy tropical fruit. Not subtle. But tasty... 14.5%
