This was $31 in Aspen. Last bottle just looking to move it. Highest QPR I have had off of retail period.

Wow! Elegant oak and butter, creme brulee, lemon zest, slate and concrete, persistent.

Interesting, with light notes of butterscotch on the nose. Lemon zest on the palette, but struggling to find other fruit. Slight effervescence also noted. Mineral driven, tense and zippy, but we feel this lacks depth. Given the hype around this juice, we are a touch miffed.

As a fan of the 2013 BN Chard from Chanin, I was keen to try the 2014. More angular and precise than the previous year, this wine retains the attractive luscious richness of fruit. A superb wine. I remain a fan!

I bought a few of these last year and it is a favorite. Rich and voluptuous, it is everything a Californian Chardonnay should be.
