Drinks very well right now. 13.5% alc is refreshingly and nicely moderate/low relative to most West Coast chardonnays. Great acidity and distinct minerality, yes oak is there, but a good overall balance.

Unfortunately this bottle was past its prime. Still had some tropical, citrus, and vanilla characteristics but unfortunately also had wood chip. Just was confused and not enjoyable at this point. Many other 2016 white blends and Chardonnays are still drinking well, just not this one.

After so many powerhouse Chards from Cali like Aubert, Kistler and Peter Michael this was a bit of a relief because of its purity. Not much of a nose just a some tropical flowers like stephanotis. Palate showed initially butterscotch and then a strong peach flavor. Followed by an interesting lime finish. Very nice wine
