Solid oaky Chardonnay. Nothing special but went well with curry chicken. Some nice petrol notes to go with wood. If you love big CA chards, you would likely rate this with a 9 handle.

A really well integrated wine. Certainly had more oak than the Hartford we had last month. Nose was sweet apple, light vanilla, and a hint of magnolia. Body wasn’t overwhelming like some California Chardonnay can be - well balanced with dry rip fruit balanced well with slightly more tart Fuji apple flavor and wet stone. Can certainly last another 5-7 years easily. Will be interesting to see where this ends up.

Blind Tasting of Santa Barbara County 2015 Chardonnays: Light gold color. Aromas of lemon meringue, crushed stone, butterscotch & hazelnut spices. Citrus fruit on the palate showing nice intensity. Layered secondary depth of oak spice, white florals and touches of stone. Shows roundness to the structure with balancing acid. Nice depth to the finish. Richer full style- well done.
