4th out of 12 wines with an average score of 15.2/20 in our Judgment of Ballston II blind tasting of White Burgundy vs. US chardonnay
My blind tasting notes: "Nice, richer, lower acidity, buttery, good CA chard - a bit too buttery & rich for my preference, 14/20" (I incorrectly guessed it was from Chateau Montelena)

Still good, starts out oaky but as you drink the wine comes together, medium bodied, nice fruit, good golden color, drank with flounder, will drink a newer vintage again.

(Chalone Chalone Vineyard Chardonnay) #1; COLOR-golden; NOSE-very tropical; a little kiwi; very clean; a little tight; PALATE-I like this wine; this has pizzazz; interesting weight; fig action; caramel and apple; I like the butterscotch nuance on the finish; very green fruit (cantaloupe, apples & pears); nice wine; a nice mix of Old and New World; GV-91

Love this wine. Oak and fruit beautifully integrated. Drinking great now. One more bottle left to drink. Will drink again. Drank with blackend salmon.

Nice balance of oak and fruit, enjoyed the bottle with lobster; medium bodied; will drink again; would not hold much longer.
