Round, seamless and mouth-filling. Great viscous and textural richness with spine and keep it all wound together. Gorgeous yellow fruit, cream, lees, hazelnut, salty, and filled with subtle earthy notes. Theres an elevation character/intensity that I love. Everything I want Napa Chardonnay to be.

Golden, the oak shows even before the first sniff. It's a fairly oaky nose, with apricot and mango fighting through. Lemon and orange appear on the palate, with enough zip to the acidity that it does not seem flabby. The oak, though, will be an issue to those who like a lean, clean Chardonnay machine. I'm tasting this in late February, and I typically like oakier Chardonnays more in the holiday season. Oh, well, the Christmas tree is still up, so it's all good. :)
