  Has a nice buttery node but does not deliver on the palate. Flavors are not defines and the wine falls flat.

  This seemed just a tad past prime. Beautiful light color, almost luminescent. Modest nose at first but opened up nicely with some air and warming up. On the palate, everything was there but the fruit was just a little flat. Nicely balanced with perfect touch of acidity and a restrained use of oak. Palate tightened up a bit toward the end. Maybe just an awkward phase.

  The nose has scents of butterscotch and the color is pale gold. On the palate, there is butterscotch, clove, baking spice, and some pear. A very typical oaked California Chardonnay. Very nice, if you like this style.

  So on day 2, I am enjoying the remainder of this bottle which has blossomed. I guess it needed a little bit of air time.
  
  It has nice citrus fruit, some butter scotch, clove and allspice with a medium finish. The oak is there but well balanced.

  Delicious now with green apple and mouth-watering stone fruit. Hints of melon and a bit of creme on the end. Medium plus acidity. This one can age. Great now. Probably amazing in 3 years.
