Started out slightly reduced, and opened up nicely reminding me of a medium plus acidity of a premier cru Chablis. Mature yellow Apple, pear, quince, lemon, mandarin orange.

An elegant Chardonnay. Not heavy-handed in the least. The fruit truly shines in this wine..

A touch faded. Nutty, white mushroom. Best with a subtle fall dish. #chardonnay #lynmarestate #russianrivervalley

A perfect example of what "too much oak" actually tastes like.

Excellent. More oaky than the earlier vintages which is great to know! Doesn’t drink as light with age.

Really good but more acidic than others. Lighter. Some oak. Others seem more balanced.
