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.

Golden straw in color, full body and buttery, ripe and acidy with oak coming through. Good all purpose chard.
