Focused and balanced fruit to oak treatment. Decent length but lacking compared to the Montelena tasted beside it.

Flower blossom, orange peel and pineapple on the nose. Very intense fruit and bright acid in the mouth. Long fish and it is drinking well now

Great CA Chardonnay but a touch too oaky for me. I think I'd love this in 7 years

Great buttery chard. Well balanced with the perfect barrel time giving it the needed acid to hold up to the big oak. You must love oak and butter.
