A vibrant and energetic Chardonnay that needs an hour decant to show its complexity. Light gold in color, medium in body, nose of lemon, almond, and pear. Round tastes of cantaloupe, green apple, lime, and hazelnut, with a graceful finish. 14.5% alcohol. A bit leaner than most Russian Russian Chardonnays, this is a well-made wine. Probably better in a year, but quite good now.

Falltacular 2016; 2/18/2017-2/20/2017 (FMIII in the OC): Medium gold color. Aromas of caramel. Sweet red apple and light caramel flavors. Very good balance. This is a nice wine.

Tart, pear, with just a little creaminess initially after a moment. Nice and round overall with some interesting subtlety.
Did not change much over 90 minutes.

Too early but couldn't wait to try.
Tart up front - apple, pear. Starts to become more creamy but could use a little more time - does finish well.
