This is drinking very well already, but still feels like a youthful bottle that could use a little more time in the cellar. Felt slightly heavier on the oak on pop and pour, but mellowed out with more time.

Really beautiful Chardonnay showing that crystalline quality of youth - stone fruits and citrus confit in perfect sync with just a touch of spice from the oak, a real zing of acid, and some lovely saline notes. This has real potential and just getting started.

Light golden color with wide legs. Nice mineral layers expressing pears, green apples, Meyer lemons, grass and white peaches. Nice finish and pleasant mouthfeel. Initially our bottle was a little over chilled. A rising temperature helped bring the qualities of this wine to the forefront.

The group liked it but it was nailed quite quickly as new world based on the excessive vanilla oak treatment.
