El Novillero Vineyard Chardonnay

Cali, but still tasty!

Butter

One of fav producers of all time. In a good spot right now. Starting to exhibit just a baby touch of age. Great intensity and weight without feeling heavy. Lemon curd, marzipan, beeswax, nutmeg and mineral. #neyersvineyards #calichard

Thought it was the previous Carneros District, so better than expected. No sign of oxidation. Complexity and some oakiness comes through but nicely balanced. Half cup used to cook shrimp shells!

Not sure how I got this one, but the cork was destroyed. Double strained, and worth the effort! Very oaky and buttery.

Smells of musty lemon vanilla deliciousness. Taste is of lemon cream. This is the taste of French White burgundy I have been looking for ... absolutely wonderful!

Lemon-lime, butter and cream. Nice weight.

It's hard to get any better than this! I love the Carneros region because it always brings a buttery and creamy wine. It has a subtle brightness with the lemon which is lovely. I had this at Craft Steakhouse and it was perfect with the entire meal, salad, salmon, steak, and dessert. Overall, it's a beautiful wine I can't wait to drink again!!

Don't normally drink white wine but this one is incredible

Middle—well balanced!
