Great mouth feel. Flavors of butter, baked apple and apricot. A gorgeous, full bodied Chardonnay. Very elegant.

Pretty intense and citrusy. Definitely full-bodied. Lemon tart with a bit of apricot, oak, honeydew melon, and honey.

Full bodied aged Chardonnay with butter, baked apple, and pear. Not as crisp and focused as younger vintages but equally enjoyable; particularly with spicy food. Cheers.

Not my cup of tea, but I respect the focus on a particular style.

Medium lemon. Aromas are smoke, brewer's yeast, and green apple. Flavors of butter and pear. M+ acidity. Dry. Full body wine with a long finish of bread and butter. Above average but a bit expensive for a Thursday evening run about. Pair with a special meal... thinking lobster with butter. Go for it.
