A lot of mushroom here. Very reminiscent of an older burgundy, but without the chalky minerality

You wouldn't believe how good this is believe you me. 23 year old Cali Chard! We all know Kalin can last. Just amazing. Yellow straw color, soft plush mouthfeel still with some bite on the finish. No way!

Kalin Cellars Chardonnay Cuvée LD
10年以上寝かせてからでないとワインをリリースしないという哲学を貫くカリンセラーズ。独特の熟成感がクセになりそう。欲を言えばもう少し酸が残ってて欲しかった。
