Alpha Onega unoaked chardonnay from 2012. Uised as part of my girlfriend's guest lecture today I get the spoils of that. Exotic nose includes guava, peach pit, and a little bit of kiwi with a lemony tinge to it. Visually it's a stunning wine, bright gold with a watery rim, and the palate lingers with ripe fruit and a wonderful texture to the wine. I don't like the big California chardonnays, but I do really like this one.

Yellow apple, juicy pear, pineapple skin, sugar cookie, and chalky minerality on the nose, pithy navel orange, bruised apple, banana creme, and lime peel on the palate- great acidity, but why does it seem hot at 12.9%?

Crisp and full of Citrus! Lemons, tangerines, cantaloupes with a touch of bananas.

The light yellow tint foretells the nose of apples and apricots with a touch of Meyer lemon. There is lemon and tangerine on the palate with just a hint of dark earthiness. An excellent acidity and a crisp clean finish carries the fruit a long way.

So rich I can't believe is Unoaked. Pretty acidity too.

Recipe for Saturday success: ride to Sam's in Tiburon. Order some Alpha Omega "un-oaked" Chardonnay and a half dozen oysters. Ride home via GG Bridge.

Love me some Napa Chard with evident oak. This is sans oak but complex nonetheless. Guava and tropical fruits dominate the palate.
