Beautiful white, aged nicely in the cellar. A bit more acidic when opened. Mellowed after 30 min, then was perfect. Just the right amount of oak.

One of the best Chardonnays I've ever had. Reminiscent of a great Montrachet. This is the way Chardonnay was meant to be. No buttery garbage. Perfect balance, flavor, and finish. Really well done.
