ZD Wines, Chardonnay, California

Still holding strong since I last had this over to years ago. Ripe, buttery, and a touch honeyed, it still expresses lovely verve and balance to kumquat and tropical fruit flavors. Toasty complexity subtly ascends on the full bodied finish. Lovely.

Fairly average. Short and dull. Lacks fruit.

Big, opulent, rich. A cornucopia of tropical fruit flavors. A bit oily/viscous. Decent complexity and finish, but overall it’s excessive, in the sense of “too much of a good thing.” Perhaps the main problem for us is that it lacks sufficient backbone acidity.

I really liked it, very tasty but not is oakey and only lightly buttery. Ann thought it was very chardonnayish and thought it was only fair.Deanna some buttery notes it was good

Pineapple, sweet corn and wood grain. No malo. 2m barrel ferment.

Nice golden yellow color, with a variety of fruit flavors. This is always my go to Chardonnay, and it did not disappoint.

Honeyed and buttery tropical fruit, pineapple, and deft use of oak on the nose. Silky textured and deceptively full bodied, with lip smacking flavors that are a touch candied. Gains toasty complexity the longer it sits. I like it.

Light golden yellow in color. Full, forward & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of apples, lemons/limes & some tropical fruit notes of pineapples with minerals & hints of butter, oak & vanilla. Medium-light bodied with a good concentration of balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of apples, lemons/limes & pineapple with minerals, spices, some butter, oak & vanilla. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present & appears to be made for mid to near term enjoyment. Good QPR.
