superb wine, has an excellent balance that is so hard to find in Chardonnay. feels like an old world style that is designed to compliment, not overpower a great meal

Lovely but a bit more advanced than I would think at this time. Medium richness and length. Nice balance

Richer in style, showing the drought from the vintage. Missing that crisp acid of the previous vintages. Still better than your average California Chard. Lemon peel, lemon custard, toasty oak that blew off after a few minutes in the glass.
