Good Chardonnay for Cali. Very ripe and round up front with that hint of expensive vanilla oak. Not over the top but delivers a nice backend acidity to clean the palate and leave u wanting more. Well done

Yes it's flabby, but that sweet vanilla butterscotch caramel, slaughtered the homemade mac&cheese got marshmallow nose, and for it's age the acidity is crisp, fire toasted marshmallow almond paste on tongue, do not put this bitch on a diet cause big gurls don't cry! Also it killed carrot cake! They don't cryyyy they don't cry!

Whoa that's a big boy. Caramelized sugar, vanilla and toasty oak on the nose. Fairly low in acidity. Was a bit much for our shrimp tonight but well made for the style they had in mind.

Really good usage of oak on this Chardonnay, so much so that I don't mind the buttered toast notes I get on the palate. I get that and a lot of baked red apple, clove and a touch of cinnamon. I enjoy this quite a bit.

I opened this wine and poured into a white burgundy glass. I took a sip and immediately poured into a red burgundy glass and let it warm up and sit for 45 minutes. I think it's so much better than the 09 and 10. The acidity surrounds the wine so nicely. Yes... it's got classic AO butterscotch/vanilla extract/toasted notes. It's so much more grounded than previous vintages. It's not the most complex wine. I knew that when I purchased it. A somewhat guilty pleasure. The 12 is the best so far.
