For an unoaked Chardonnay, stellar stellar stellar. Integrity has held up well still has probably another year in it. Bright stone fruit nose, hints of florals, and surprises on the palate with the roundness and yet no malo or oak (ph mastery by winemaker) and balanced acidity gives way to tart green apple finish. Perfect food wine

2012 Napa/Sonoma closeout Chardonnay face-off. If you were going to make a movie theater popcorn flavor of chewing gum, you’d want to drink the William Hill before you started just to make sure you got it right. It’s a Willy Wonka expression of malolactic fermentation. The Iron Horse brings more precision along with more restraint. Focused stone fruit infused with lemongrass and lychee lead the way to a lime and mineral driven finish.

After 12 years, still a lovely wine. We really do need to be more careful.
