This was a fantastic wine tonight. When cold, it tasted really fresh, and more integrated (as expected) than a 2019 Aubert Sugar Shack. As It warmed and opened up in the bottle, several hours later, it was all caramel and butterscotch. A great showing and one of the top wines tonight - with some good company.

Full brassy gold color. Big buttery nose, honey, kiwi lime, floral notes. Palate showing candied citrus, nectarines, butterscotch and oak. Primary flavors linger through the mid palate. Full body and finish
Beautifully aged, has gone the distance developing depth and complexity. You have to like the style, this is very classic California chardonnay. Really great showing - should hold for a few more years but not sure it gets any better from here. Worth opening now if you have a few....

Gorgeous wine! Nose of buttered popcorn, honey, oak, tangerine. Finely tuned and mature. Dark amber in colour. On the palette, a balance of buttery elegance, orange peel, honey and a mild oaky delight. This is sophisticated and I love it. The most I’ve ever spent on a bottle of Napa Chardonnay but worth the wait and price. One and only bottle. The way it was meant to be.
