Lovely color, 4 years and the acid is falling a bit. I bet this would have been awesome a year ago.

Standard buttery, vanilla style chard. Drinks ok. Nothing to write home about. Good for cooking

Hints of butter and vanilla, crisp and oaky but not overwhelming and holds its own against more expensive wines

This is the style of California Chardonnay that has made it so popular. Great balance of fruit and oak. #client

Cali Chardonnay: really a style I can't warm up to.

Arroyo Seco AVA in Monterey County.Bright yellow. Nose of tropical fruit with even a hint of lychee (apparently there is 2% of gewurztraminer in the blend). Ripe, round and simple, on the sweetish side, but good acidity and well-integrated oak.
