Sierra Mar Vineyard Chardonnay 2023

Dark gold in color.

Light nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing citrus, apples, pears, light earth, light oak, limes, light spices and minerals.

Nice finish with lemons and limes.

This is a delicious Chardonnay from Santa Lucia Highlands in California. Soft and elegant. Fruit forward and engaging.

Nicely balanced and complex, with a nice mouthfeel. The high alcohol is well integrated.

Already drinking beautifully, and will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years.

This Single Vineyard Chardonnay is easy drinking, and good by itself or with food.

100% Chardonnay grapes were aged in (33% new) French oak barrels for 9 months.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$55.

Does age matter, Sander?

Normally I'm not really a fan of St. Bernardus 12: to heavy and alcoholic. After a few years it loses it's sharp edges and gains more complexity, more chocolatey.

Marinus Signature Carmel Valley Red Blend 2015

We had the 2015 Vintage on 12/17-18/22. This CA red blend really captures the essence of a good Bordeaux. Blackberry, cedar, cassis plum. The tannins were all smoothed out. Very good. Full bodied. — 3 years ago

Ok, so this (gifted to me) bottle is well made and it is drinking on it's peak right now. Pop n pour and you're ready to go. This has a very over the top full throttle tropical/oaky/buttery style. A bit too much for my palate but I can see others scoring this 94-95 if this would be up your alley. Dispite the low-ish score I did enjoy it a lot! — 6 months ago
