  One of the better bottles of California Chardonnay have had in a while. The balance with the age is basically an perfect spot. Hint of tropical fruit, great layers, beautiful complexity, and amazing balance.

  For once in my life I completely agree with an average 92.4 rating according to CT at this particular moment. This wine was ready to go from the first seconds, but only continued to get better as it sat out. Stone-ground peach and ripe pear grittiness. Walnuts. A touch of sweetness. Excellent salinity and minerality up front and became much more substantial towards the finish. The versatility here seems to be quite profound, as this would go very well all by itself, or would pair with the full spectrum of food. Heck, I would even say this Sheridan a is substantial enough to cut through a ribeye. The only thing I would consider doing different would be to actually decant it! No signs of decline.

  Translucent yellow. Very aromatic with a richly citric lemon/lime fruit. The sip is mouth coating, brightly refreshing, and lively textured. A superb example of how ocean cooled vineyards along the Sonoma Coast can make powerful Chardonnays without any flab or sweetness. Superbly enjoyable and complete by itself, as well as a great match with fish and sea foods.

  Like Padillami, I found this a bit ripe, not typical for Seascape.
