Santa Barbara County Chardonnay

Honeysuckle and wet rock on the nose. The palate is smooth and a touch sweet with flavors of butterscotch, vanilla and lemon curd. A nice acidic backbone and a little bit of heat on the finish. Very smooth - the back label calls out "judicious aging in French oak" and it shows.

One of our favorite chards.

Such a lovely bouquet of spring, honey, nectarines and white flowers. The palette is complex with brioche, melon, butterscotch and sweet oak. Acid structure is superb. The wine expands on the palette, finishing with a tilt towards honey. This is a textbook expression of the varietal.

Honey, baked apple, Werther's Originals.

Beautiful dill and toasty nose with a balanced finish!

Surprise find in my cellar. Close to being finished.

Best showing for this wine yet!

Nice

Smooth, big Chard that goes down too easy!

Big and rich. Huge toast off the cork. Nice integrated acid bringing the heft into balance.
