Rather tight, green apple & lime nose. This sharp green apple and citrus fruit carries on in the mouth with big acidity, razor sharp finish!

Butter honey and more acid than expected. Good lime cream bit harsh finish. $44.99

Better than expected for the age. Needs a decant or ample time in the bottle as it got better with time. Medium gold color. Nose of lemon, cream, and even some brioche. Wine is biting and a little funky, probably past prime, but settles down while in the mouth for a bit. Medium finish.

Partial stainless and partial oak a difficult vintage in napa but Cakebread always delivers the goods if you like crisp clean finish. Excellent

A very good chard overall. Decent acidity and not over oaked. However there was a strong finish that I didn't like personally.

Have one more of the 2011. It's an excellent chardonnay, so I bought a couple 2012 bottles. LOVE this chardonnay!
