Rich with loads of new oak. It is top tier California Chardonnay for sure. Needs a few more years in bottle but really lovely stuff from the Pisoni crew

Great bottle of Chard! Once it warmed a little the flavors really came out. Well balanced, oak, lemon, some white fruit. Def going to keep on the rack for another time.

At Ventana Big Sur. Big oaky buttery. Kelly and I both loved it. Paired very well with our oyster mushrooms
