Full bodied aroma of oak, butter and honeydew upon uncorking. Disappointed by taste, a little tame for a chard that does not overwhelm with savory butteriness.

I know I'm not supposed to like big oak chardonnays, but I do when they're not sweet and tropical. This fills the bill: bright yellow, concentrated flavors, and better balance than the 13 I own has ever had. Nice vintage.

Drank over two days. Much more open for business on day 2. Rich straw yellow in the glass. Nose and palate of crisp golden orchard apples, meyer lemon, lemon creme, crushed dry granite, vanilla and oak. Midpalate was quite full and round with just enough acidity to keep it focused and persistent on the finish. Oak was too noticeable for me on day one but had integrated enough to my liking by the second day.
