Lovely- rich, slightly oaky, buttery without being heavy.

May 18th, 2019The dominant impression is butter, with the aroma of browned onions. There is apple, pineapple, and tropical fruit. Moderate acidity and salty but weak minerality, with oak and vanilla. This is probably a love it or hate it wine. I have friends who dislike Chardonnay with so much effect of barrels and lees. But everything has its place. I really liked this with shrimp and truffled garlic grits.

Perfect amount of French Oak, not over bearing. Nicely done. If I can find it I will buy a case.

Buttery, slightly closer to butterscotch than I typically go but still nice with roasted beets/potatoes/sausage wrapped in Swiss chard (dinner).

Very oaky, balanced only by a cold winter night when you need a little extra fat on the bone.
