Jigar Chardonnay Peters Vineyard

Oak bomb and past it’s prime

Seemed past its prime

Oak with apples, florals, some slight herbs - very crisp for its age, sweet without being overbearing oh so. Easy drinker, not super complex. Needed a white wine for a lemon herb sauce to go with a veal porterhouse and the rest of the wine was very tasty. Nothing super notable here but very serviceable if in need of Chardonnay to both drink and cook with.

Heavy sour apple, basically feels like no malo fermentation...

Very passable. Not too old at 6 years. Survived half empty in the fridge for second day well. Oak and malo are not over the top. Notes of pineapple.

Deep golden hue; aromas of pineapple and mango on the nose with oaky presence; fresh tropical fruits on the palate with some butteriness (not over the top like some); smooth yet crisp finish. A nice CA Chardonnay.

A little over the top with the oak, but otherwise quite nice.

Deep golden color but completely transparent. Reductive notes that took a while to blow off before revealing some baked apple pie. Tangy tropical fruits -- pineapple, guava. Was initially surprised at the mouthfeel but the creaminess I was expecting arrived as the glass warmed up. Decent finish though you could feel the alcohol. A really in your face wine -- a bit over the top for me.

Crisp with a hint of citrus and good acid. Not much fruit. Still pleasant.

Good acid. Prominent yet judicious oak. Could use a bit more finesse to round things out. Still, pretty tasty all in all.

A bit on the buttery side, has some mild citrus and vanilla. Has mild acidity, but still a bit flabby. If a more Oaked and buttery Chardonnay is your preference, this is very good. If you prefer a more fruit forward, mineral Chardonnay, then this wine will be a disappointment.
