Very good, but could use some finesse. Lemon, burnt toast, oak, a touch of tropical flower, nice acid and a good finish. Good with dinner, but the oak and acid got to me by the end of the meal, and I would have liked a little more fruit or mineral to balance it out and launch this wine to a higher level.

PnP. Wine still showing some notes of green apple, vanilla. This bottle seemed as if it had a little less body to it, but still very enjoyable even on day 2.

Lovely nose with peach lime and honeysuckle. Good body, but a little more austere in the mouth, with more green apple, minerality and a slight sourness in the finish. It was definitely better chilled.

I think this has mellowed out a bit for the fruit. Just seems pleasantly more balanced now and drinking well. Thus the 1 point bump from the last time.

- Light gold color with slow forming legs and aromas of banana. It's balanced and has flavours of butterscotch with a light body. Bright texture with a short finish.

Nice but undistinguished. Would not buy more, especially at this price.

So hard to rate this. Its a California Chardonnay on steroids. OAK and vanilla. Fun for what it is but too expensive.

A very nice Chard with some tropical flavors. Decent for the money.

The nose has lemon, grass and grapefruit. The taste has steel, grapefruit and light hints of lemon. This a great summer evening wine.

Soft nose, with green apple and pear, and cinnamon on the palate. Hints of oak. A little medicinal on the palate. Very nice screw-cap wine.

Drank at Ravinia with picnic food. It was very good but I don't think outstanding. Peaches and apricots.

A little on the fruity end more so than his normal bottlings. A very nice chardonnay with lots of apple and pear on the nose and a nice crisp focus in the mouth.
