Because... Friday. Lewis Cellars 2012 Chardonnay, Napa Valley. Big buttered pears mixed with caramel, vanilla, and spiced rum. It needs 10-15 minutes to open and unwind. The flavors are more integrated and less in your face than right after it was uncorked. The oak is strong, but it fits just fine. This may be a white to decant. Right out of the bottle it feels a bit oily and overwhelming floral that dissipates as it opens.
