Lovely unapologetic classic Cali Chard. Creamy texture, nicely balanced with luscious vanilla and butterscotch notes.

Bright yellow with a slight greenish hue. Lots of acidic fruits on the nose, like granny smith apples and lemon. Slightly buttery attack that was then overcome by clean fruits, such as white and tropical fruits. Moderate acidity (6.5/10) and a medium body. A little sharp in the finish, moderate plus in length. Seems to only have a little oak influence. This would be nice to try in a couple years once it has some time to numb that sharpness. Drink till 2023.

So, I went a little over board on the wines today. The advent calendar idea didn't make it. Anyway, here we go!

Nice aged Chardonnay. Oak has mellowed out with the age. Still round and butter tones.

Weekend delight. Vanilla, butterscotch, creamy. One of those that Ashley would like.

Fruit, oak and acid in balance. Citrus and apple leads to creaminess.

It smells like honey and apricot, with a tartness that is understated.

The taste is fruity and juicy on the palate. The acidity is moderate and the impression of sweetness is strong.
