Phenomenal, 2007 is one of my favorite vintages for Chardonnay and this what it's all about! This wine has age, flavor, structure and acid. Win win win!

Stunning! Ripe Yellow Pear, Baked Green Apple, Almond, Walnut, Caramel, and Lemon Curd on the nose. Acidity balances out a rich full-body. Clendenen is one of the Kings of Chardonnay.

Nice Chardonnay. Easy going hints of vanilla, honey, cream, and citrus.

Caramel apple, lemon, and sea salt. Turning a nice golden color. The great thing about ABC is that they carry older vintages at accessible prices.

A lovely chardonnay though not much buttery finish (in a good way) and mildly sweet on the midpalate. A balanced wine without too many floral nor citrus note. Paired well with roasted chicken.
