All creamy, non-descript orchard fruit and slightly flabby texture on day one. But blooms into a much more interesting lemon oil/blossom and zestier feel on day 2. Completely unexpected and much better.

Great Chardonnay. Has great balance and purity. Has a nice creaminess balanced by good acidity.

Better than expected, 10 years old, but still fresh, no noticeable oak. Lovely.

Could easily pass for a good quality Bourgogne blanc. Good food Chard with nice acidity. Not too complex but "likable enough".

Fresh and vibrant and only mildly toasty. Testament to the Sonoma Coast's ability to produce bright and sophisticated Burgundy varietals.

White nectarine and oyster shell on the nose. Restrained oak. Slightly off putting dusty, drying metallic note on the mid palate and finish.

Really nice. Nice touch of oak but not too much. Really well done, liked it a little better than the Sonoma county (blue label).
