11’ One night 12’ the next. I thought the 11 was slightly better. Yes I just said the 11.

Again, just a ridiculous Chardonnay. Salted popcorn on the nose (my favorite note). Palate was very textured...decent amount of butter, but not over oaked. Mineral driven and stone dominant. Graphite.

In comparison to a 2005 Marcassin (that was corked), an 05 Hobbs Chard, and a DuMol 2012 Chard, this one was the white wine of the day. This was the perfect balance between malolactic and "old world" style Chards. I was really quite enamored with this wine from cork pop. The nose did not indicate butter in any way, but the front of this wine surely did. The middle of this wine yielded a dry, stone ground fruit note. The finish of this wine included white pepper and a hint of cinnamon. For me, this one was white wine of the afternoon/night, and not even close to being done yet.
