Trout Gulch Vineyard Chardonnay

Great wine, made ever greater by the extra couple years of cellaring!

One of the finer costal California Chardonnays around

Always one of the best Chardonnays from the California every year

A very restrained nose and palate with medium intensity. The acidity was quite vibrant and strong with just-ripened #chardonnay fruit and a butteriness to the medium length finish. A nicely balanced wine. #arnotroberts #chardonnay #santacruzmontains #california #ctbucklinwine

Lovely. As it warmed and had some air it shifted from mineral to lemon as the dominant note. The mix of the two as it opens is delicious and the acidity is mouthwatering.

Salty, rocky goodness

A lot of fruit for AR. Great acidity and that trademark saline burst. Nicely evolved.

Very nice. Lots of lemon - paired well with sautéed crab claws.

Golden hay colored. Rich aromas of red apple, clementine, pear, popcorn kernels, honey, jasmine and lemon merengue. Powerful and especially noticeable lingering acidity. Apple, lemon pie, orange spice, and oak on the palette. Nice components but unharmonious. Likely an off-year with unusually high acidity due to climate.

I love the trout. But the 2015 lacks the searing acidity that is typical of the site. The fruit is still quite delicious. 2/3 chilmark tavern
