Drinking nicely! Beautiful deep yellow in the glass. The nose is fantastic, melon, peaches and limes with just a bit of spicy oak. Starts of with ripe flavor of orange melon and yellow apple leading into some tart flavors on the finish along with citrus notes. Heavy weight on the palate with the oak way in the background. Medium length finish. The acidity is still hanging on. This is drinking nicely tonight, the only thing that is off is the tartness of the finish, it doesn't match up with the round, lush character of the rest of the wine. Still a nice drink though, holding up well.

really nice California Chard. Not to oaky/leesy, probably due to the lack of malolactic fermintation. Drank from a magnum, which probably helped based upon other reviews. Years of lofe left, apple, white peach, really delicious

Apple/pear, citrus hints with pineapple hints at the end. Slight oak background. Very nice with sesame crusted salmon, mashed potatoes and green beans!

Rich and heavy chardonnay. Some oak and butter.
