Suprisingly youthful for a California chardonnay that was at the time 8 years after vintage ('09). Full bodied with tons of buttery popcorn and well-done toast. Also had nice creamy apple finish, thouroughly enjoyed.

I don't like Chardonnay. I LOVED this. Crisp fruity French style. Big apple, pear, and peach flavors. Well balanced. Very little of the grassy buttery flavors that turn me off from most California Chardonnays. A little pricey, but nice for a special treat.
