I don't often drink Chardonnay, but when I do, it's from Mt. Veeder. Dense fruit, nice acidity, more body than some reds.

Nice spice and apple pie aromas with rich full mouthfeel. Good balance, excellent oak integration, and nice crisp acid. Well done!

Chardonnay is reborn thanks to the winemaking duo of Molly Hill (Sequoia Row) and Lars Bjorkman (Saddleback). Mt. Veeder grown. 3 exposures (east, south, level). Thankful I had chance to taste as it is sold out.

Smooth, easy to drink Chard. I usually like a little oakier but it still had some oak a nice flavor.

A riper style, but the natural acidity due to vineyard right on the border of Carneros cut into the weightiness and give it a long finish.
