Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is nice with grapefruits, slight lemon, and a hint of vanilla. Medium bodied. Nice acidity. On the palate, this is lean but piercing (in a good way). Grapefruit notes with just a bit of spice. Long finish. Tasty. This drinks well on its own and would work well with lighter foods but also Salmon or Tuna steaks. Drink over the next five years.
Visiting wine country? Why spend $250 per day in tasting fees when you can get the wine pass and pay less then half of that? 1 Day with the wine pass = $125+ in savings. 2 Days with the wine pass = $250+ in savings. The Priority Wine Pass
This is starting to show some age. For me, that is a great thing, but others mileage may vary. There is also a fair amount of oak present, so oakaphobes, be warned. Green/golden in color. The nose has lots of fresh cut timber, some spice, grapefruit and lemon cream. On the palate, this is full bodied. Lush texture but enough cut to keep it lively. Lots of lemons and lemon peel. Long finish. This showed better on night 2 with a bit more air to round things out. It is drinking well now and should conitnue to drink well for another seven to ten years depending how you like older wine

At age 5, this is still young, but showing a bit of maturity and very enjoyable. Golden in color with slight green hues, clear and bright. On the nose, this is a big wine. Lots of red apples, some grapefruit, with lots of vanilla and oak and some floral notes. Full bodied. On the palate, this has a great, viscous texture. Flavors of lemons, lemon candy and baking spice. Good acidity. Long finish. If you like oak, this is your wine, b
Another great showing for this Chardonnay. There is a deft use of oak that is noticeable here, but well done and well within reason. Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is nice with lemon curd, vanilla and hint of grapefruit. With air a nice minerality emerges. Full bodied. On the palate, this is still young but drinking well. It improves in the glass showing lemon curd with slight vanilla and spice. Nice balance and structure. Long finish. This seems like it should easily do another decade or more. Great on its own, this will work well with duck, salmon or just a s
Ceritas makes a wonderful lineup of Chardonnay's and I encourage everyone to sign up for their mailing list. This one is no exception. Light golden in color.
