  Solid Napa Chardonnay, and great value, as usual. Open and ready immediately, but it improved measurably with air. Well balanced, with buttery notes of lemon, apple blossom, pineapple, and with time, coconut appearing on the nose. Big and expansive in the mouth, and increasingly expressive with 3-4 hours of air. In fact, the last glass at the 6-hour mark was the best, as the finish really took off at this point. Good, though if opening now 3-4 hours minimum is needed to catch it at its best (if anything like this bottle). 93+

  Typical okay Californian Chardonnay, oily, buttery and full body with lemon, tangerine and mineral aroma. Quite a long finish. A well made Chardonnay if you like that style.

  Buttery and mellow, to the sweet side. It may improve if you wait two years to drink it.

  Aromatically, tropical fruit and cedar wood. In mouth this is all tropical fruit and then quickly followed by the smoothing oak coming from the wood influenced aging. Finish is long and lingering toasted oak. The wine is viscous and rich. As I have stated in the past this wine punchs above its weight.
