Medium– acidity, smooth, floral and full. I get strong ripe pear, melon, melon pulp, vanilla bean, lilies, white flowers, oak, apple pie and pannacotta. Smooth on the palate, dry+ with lots of pastry and fruit. Great wine, but I wish for a bit more acidity.

Clearly californian but with a French twist. Loved it.

12' Sea Smoke Streamside Chardonnay. Last time I tried this particular bottle...made a note saying WAIT. It hasn't quite been a year.

Light golden in color(slightly darker then a year ago )Medium-ish body. This acidity has settled down since I had this last year(it needed to) quite nicely. Tropical flavors are still pronounced in the wine. Yellow apple, pear, pineapple, nutmeg & vanilla. Secondary flavors are starting to open up. Would enjoy trying this again in 2/3 years.

Well made and good with food...stylistically a little over done

Nervy, sharp acidity lemon all the way. Perfect with a late summer salad.

Ripe fruit. A bit hot on the palate but well balanced.
