Santa Lucia Highlands, Central Coast, California, USA
10k gold core fully concentrated out to a slim pale yellow rim. Medium plus intensity of aroma features pineapple, coconut, ginger, melted butter, and tobacco leaf. A dry wine with medium but mouthwatering acid. Full body, rich, creamy, slightly viscous texture,spicy but well integrated alcohol at 14.5%. A touch of bitterness on the medium plus finish that features vanilla, butter, caramel, baked spiced apple, ginger. Oaky coconut and a slight phenolic astringency linger beyond the fruit.

Oakey and a little buttery. Overall, I liked it and I'm not much of a Chardonnay drinker.

Nice chard - right amount of oak and malolactic - worth the 28$

Apr 12th, 2015Dense, consistent 10k gold with bronze hue. Complex aroma, tropical, pineapple, honey, creamed corn, brown sugar, caramel, toasted hazelnut. Dry but rich flavors and viscosity gives an impression of sweetness. Medium plus acid, threshhold phenolic astringency, very full body, high alcohol 14.5% leaves a prickle and burn on the lips,palate, and throat. Long, complex finish features a concentrated baked pear, baked apple, ginger, brown sugar, toasted nuts.
