Not oxidized, but aged in an unflattering way. Overly buttery and caramelized. Lacks acidity.

2024 vintage. Medium body. Appley (word?) and spicy. The previous vintage was more golden. Occupies an interesting niche in California Chardonnay stylistically. 11.13.26.

2023 vintage. Medium body. Light oak influence. Some golden notes. Some acidic notes. Harmonious now. Picked up two cases for the resto since domestic Chard sales have picked up a bit lately. 09.24.25.
