Picnic @ Brad's (CT): Cloudy yellow in color. Big yeasty, leesy, and butterscotch flavors. At peak, or just past peak. Complex and fine. Perhaps a bit too much oak for some people.

Cloudy, dark yellow color. Explosive, Burgundian, leesy nose. A bit of apples, yeasty, thick, and buttery. Very complex, with a lengthy finish. Lower in acidity than when I last tasted it, but it can still hold.

Full of fruit, especially apples. Yeasty, with some mineral components. Lots of stuff going on here. Zingy with a long finish. Really delicious, but like most California Chardonnays, it can become heavy in large quantites (drank almost a full bottle in a single sitting).
