Shift in style for 2013 chardonnay is apparent. Gone is the lavish buttery character--this is just gorgeous. Nose is very Chassagne-Montrachetesque: piña colada, orange blossom, pomaceous fruit soar in the glass, full creamy palate balanced by perfect acidity, nice mineral-coated mouthfeel with a bite reminiscent of green pear w skin on. Finishes with power and finesse. A+.

So on point I drank two this week... So far. Lovely touch of butterscotch and vanilla with Meyer lemon and a pineapple finish, the acidity and minerality are great and I love the over all weight, not too heavy.

The weight is very sexy, tropical fruits, pineapple, lemon, honeydew drip with good acidity, it's got a touch of warm creme and nice oak accents, every thing in its right plaaace, right place. Delightful
