I'm not mad at it. Hedonistic and it has some slutty appeal.

Buttery texture has diminished after 2013. No fruit but good structure

This 2013 vintage was opened May 2020. The vineyards are one of my favorites and has brought me back to visit on several occasions. The Chardonnay has been a favorite and this one continues my praise. Aroma with mild oak, hint of apple, a bit citrus and not overwhelming. The taste is mildly creamy with smooth effects on the palate. Great with pork tenderloin! Unfortunately my last bottle. Overpriced in the restaurant but if the food is excellent, go for it!!!

V13. Sometime you ask "why", v13 answers the question. Nice flinty, sweet stone fruit and soft vanilla nose. Simple, soft, sweet pear, and Meyer lemon fruit. Velvet and mineral finish . Really good.
