Napa Valley Chardonnay

2013. Beautiful color, like solid gold. Peaches, nectarines and oak grace the nose, with a nice, soft vanilla layer. The oak is not over done. On the palate, peach, apricot and earth dominate, with the oak aging apparent. The wood is not full-on buttery, but close to it. The acidity is magnificent. Get some shrimp, crab or lobster - nice with mussels or clams, too. It may be lobster roll time! The finish leaves the buttery vanilla trace of oak along with that earthy fruit.

Enough oak to keep my wife satisfied without me needing to reach for another bottle. The definition of balanced Chard in our household...

Tart apple, honey, pithy lemon, buttery oak and hints of limestone. Good structure and texture.

Apples and other tree fruit. Fantastic Chardonnay for the price.

Enjoyable. Oak, butter and crisp fruit. Slight metallic finish.

Nice yellow color, soft taste with peach notes

2017- rich fruitiness, soft green apple. Great buttery creaminess, with a soft oak finish

Gold hue with medium body and acidity. Aromas of ripe yellow apple, starfruit, juicy pineapple, a little bit of vanilla and butter. 6 years old so the richness and creaminess are mellow.

That tart green apple sweet buttery bouquet. Oaky vanilla butter with tart green apple finish. Oaky.

Very smooth and nice to the pallet
