La Cruz Vineyard Chardonnay

2005 vintage. Very good wine. Aged well. Quite complex on the palate. Easy on the nose. Very pear, white grapes for tastes with a hay and butterscotch finish. Quite drinkable.

Delicious choice for Moroccan chicken on a blizzard night. Beautiful fruit and light cream finish ...

Pale straw, medium++ viscosity, totally clear, no sediment. Nose has honey, white flowers, maybe some minerality. Palette sees residual sweetness and oak, which evolves into medium+ acid that finishes long. A surprising amount of alcohol on the palette with medium mouthfeel. An oaky Sonoma Chardonnay that is pretty well balanced by sweetness and solid minerality.

2009: deep rich red wine! Tasty!

Nice petro, great with afternoon tea at Peninsula hotel

Watery

Aroma of honey, oak, and lime. Taste of tangerines, a touch of bitterness and mineral. Smooth and round with a hint of sweetness. Lingering bitterness and alcohol show up in the aftertaste.

It's Chardonnay and a damn fun day for it too.

on a par with the best puligny montrachet peninsula hotel house wine good eye!
