@Joe Lucca Thank you bud for sharing this beauty with me! The 1st time I ever tried it was during our get together at Ron's house. It drank very well then and very well now!! I was slightly afraid when I took my 1st sip. I had just pulled it out of my cooler. It was super tight and somewhat shut down. Incredible how it transformed with some air & warming up to room temp. Now it's well rounded rounded with a nice lush mouthfeel.
Notes of citrus are awesome and it has a nice long finish.
Very nice! Thanks Bud!

Bemoaning the extinction of the best 'B' label in the league. Never a star, always a solid contributor to team unity. #dumol

This is produced by DuMol and labeled under the Maranet name exclusively for restaurants. The nose shows ocean air, split vanilla bean, ripe fig, and fragrant honeysuckle. Marmalade, beeswax, citrus, quince, nectarine, and almonds. This has some nice viscosity, but enough acid to keep it from being heavy. Impressive length. I love how complex this is and how it changes with some air and as it warms in the glass.

A new world chardonnay that makes the debate of oak vs. no oak seem silly. Perfect harmony here, full, deep, rich, refreshing

Nice Chardonnay. Not too buttery. Needs time to open. Big butterscotch notes.

A perfectly acceptable Chardonnay. Needed some time to open up - with some light vanilla and pear notes.
