  Not my favorite Chardonnay for sure. Nice initial flavors but then it tapered off and had very little finish. Didn’t love the nose either. Weird for a Platt Vineyard Chardonnay (which we usually really like). Would not buy again

  Great depth and nice fruit with a touch of oak. Very nice.

  I liked it a lot, it's pretty much ready. On the nose you get springs and flowers from Roses to Lavendar. On the Palette it can be somewhat buttery but balances out with crisped nuanced complexity of a heartier Chardonnay. This is very my style until I started tasting some sourness. I mean what gives? The only way I found that could get rid of the sourness / Acidity was to re-fridge it down to a very cold temperature or have some cheese then it's ever blissful again. Drink at 50 degree or less and keep it there unless you want some lemons. It would be a 97 if it weren't so finicky as it got warmer.

  TOP SHELF WINE WEEKEND: There were a couple of Auberts in the tasting that I inadvertently dodged and for whatever reason was unable to conjure up the logistical prowess to get to them and proffer some sort of comparison between the Auberts and the Vice Versa Platt. That said, I’ll say that I can pretty much guess the obvious here (I’m a master at guessing the obvious by the way), specifically in that the VV is typically the more acidic and popping in profile relative to the stylistically creamy and pillowy Auberts. This to me is a stylistic thing. Much like Champagne and Ultramarine, it’s ok to like both styles, though I admittedly gravitate more toward the acid and uber fresh lemon juice contour over the riper and sweeter style (so, full disclosure there).
  
  I’ve written multiple tasting notes on the VV specifically, so I’ll simply say that this bottle was consistent with previous experiences. Great verve and focus, with elevated yellow citrus brilliance. One of the few domestic Chardonnays out there that I’m drawn to.

  Wild and Crazy Memorial Weekend - Sunday (Chris' Castle aka Melissa's Manor): Small pour.....think honey butter on toast, but with a citric streak! Second time I have had VVChard (other was a 19). This one is showing what a little age can do, and it's quite nice! Should continue to improve, IMO. Like the creamy pear and streak of chalky minerality. Solid 95 for my palate.
