A solid wine but not exciting or distinctive. Light straw color in the class. Nose doesn't give off much. Nice full mouthfeel. Some buttered toast notes from the oak but not overbearing. The the softening of the fruit flavors and the lack of acid leave the wine too soft and passive for my taste.

A very good chardonnay from Martinelli it has a toasty brioche nose and palate with some mineral showing up mid palate through the finish. A little more one dimensional then I would prefer, it still rounded out very nicely by the second day and added a few floral notes to take it to the 90 point mark.

Oak, nuts, and lees with mineral iodine notes, smoky Autumn herbs, and lemon. Solid, if not totally giving.
