Part 1 of 6 tastings at work: the 2008 was oaky on the nose, super strong buttery finish, like a mouth full of popcorn - not for me

Very golden in color, decent oak. High acidity. Good, but forgettable.

More often than not it is Chardonnay in my glass these days and what a Chardonnay this is, rich and complex, layers of lemon custard and spice, so satisfying with our Shrimp Étouffée tonight. I wish more people got to taste this one, it's delicious.
