Petaluma white Label Chardonnay- While I am enjoying this it bugs me to think how much better it could be. A bit of new oak for a start and although the full malo doesn't seem to be adding much the acid is persistent yet soft. The oak would have made a huge difference across the board. The fruit quality is there! It's not my style of chardy but it deserves 8.5. -Tasted again 31/01/15 Tasting a lot more oak influence and complexity this time including some buttery notes. Oak is perfect :)
