This wine has been consistent since the 2009 vintage. The Little Bit Chardonnay is definitely the one to buy and open for the discriminating tastes, but this bottle will do the job it needs to complement lighter fare. I definitely think this one is a little bit lighter bodied than other vintages of Hudson, But the classic yellow fruit and herb density is certainly here. Actually very soft and rounded on the front, while still showing quite a bit of minerality on the finish. I think this one would probably do very well with a year of age to kind of bring it all together a little bit more. The QPR on this bottle is pretty good, and deals are usually to be had. Not bad for a wine that will probably keep very well for 5 years or so and has this kind of complexity for about 45 bucks!
