Brought by a guest to lunch last Sunday who adores this wine. I have always found it over oaked and very ripe fruit but this was a much better showing. Still a big barrel ferment character and stone fruit notes but not ultra ripe. M minus acid and not for long keeping but a crowd pleaser right now. Great QPR.

2009 vintage. A while back this was one of my favorite every day Chardonnay. This vintage was one of the better ones that I kept around until a while ago when I pulled it for sipping with friends. It's still a very reasonable chard if you like creamy, oaky wine.....and I do. Lots of legs and creamy fruit but ultimately somewhat simple. Superb for every day drinking. I'll still pick up a bottle or two each year to check how the latest vintage tastes. There are a LOT of Chardonnay available but it's good to know which ones meet the personal bar of acceptability. This one does it almost every year. The 2009 was way above standard.

Nice fruit, a little warm, with well integrated, but not overbearing oak.

Opens up after getting closer to room temperature for ~30 minutes. Good Chard, but not great. #2015
