A lively and layered Chardonnay that is drinking well - and probably at its peak - right now. Light yellow, almost silver in color; medium in body; nose of lemon rind and brioche. Citrus tastes lead the way, with notes of lemon, grapefruit, and lime, followed by notes of almond, vanilla bean, and ocean air. 13.9% alcohol. Drink now.
I am a fan of Massican, since Petroski makes original and lively whites with a lot of character (and very reasonable prices). As much as I've enjoyed the SB and Italian blends, I thought the 2014 was a bit tired. In contrast, this wine has an energy and depth that are a real pleasure.

Nice middle-aged California chardonnay in a lean style. Finishes a bit bitter.

A bit fuller than previous years it seems to me. But still plenty of crisp notes to keep it lively. Good stuff.
