Short tasting note because I am nearly speechless.
Fabulous Santa Cruz Mts. Chardonnnay. Nicely lean and crisp, lightly oaked and terrior soaked with deft white fruits. Active bouquet. In the rarefied range of top California Chardonnay. I am a happy man tonight.
This gives me paws.
But yeah, 12s are drinking great right now. We had a 12 Alpine Chard recently that was really fantastic.
Cat paws or dog paws?
Had this tonight and this is just a great wine. Sharp acidity, voluptuous fruit and – with all of that – well balanced. This was my last bottle. It could certainly get better and maybe even reach brilliance, but I don’t regret opening it now.
I’ve loved every one of these I’ve had.
