  This chardonnay seemed well-integrated, soft and stylistically neutral. You can tell there's some oak but not excessive at all and well-integrated. Nice lemon curd and spice.

  Blind Chardonnay Tasting (Scott and Amy's House): Blind Tasting Wine 2: On paper this would have finished dead last. For me it was the second best wine of the night. Lemon, spices, floral and sour apples. Multilayered finish and medium to long. More personality than the Ridge prior to it. I guessed the 2015 Patrick Javillier due to the lack of oak.

  This wine is a bit confusing, but there are positive elements. There is a fair amount of tropical fruit - pineapple, passionfruit, melon. There is a fair amount of oak, including a dose of sweet vanilla. There is a slight touch of animal musk or funk. There is moderate alcohol. Altogether, the parts are intriguing but they do not meld into a harmonious wine. Drinking this makes me want to go buy a Chateau Michelle Indian Wells chardonnay, as I suspect that would drink better at less than half the price.

  Have you ever had a wine that felt like it was trying to hard?
  This was one of them for me. On the nose it was slightly sweet, with tones of melon and melon skin. Candied tangerines, and honeysuckle. It had heavy floral notes and was very perfumed. This wine hits you constantly in different directions but not in a good way. Moderate alcohol, medium high acid. Unique and unpleasant after taste of metal. Not a good expression of California Chardonnay. As much as I love John Legends music. I do not love his wine...
