Buttery, smooth, and fruity, peach and pineapple flavors, with toasted coconut and butterscotch notes. Subtle sweetness and very nicely oaked in my opinion. Really enjoyed this Chardonnay. 14% Alc.

This has a lot less oak then the 2013 vintage but it still lacks any fruit and is over the top buttery. You could say it's "yummy" though. Good length. $16.

A perfect example of the frankly silly California style of Chardonnay, this wine succeeds in being both creamy AND buttery, with that extreme secondary malolactic fermentation.
