Matthiasson

Linda Vista Vineyard Chardonnay

New world Chablis emulation but with a little more ripe fruit character and butter notes. Butter mochi, ripe green apple, cooked apples. Really tart finish with duality if fruit character. 0 new oak usage in this wine, fermented in used oak barrels and battonage for a year. Not your typical Napa chardonnay by any means but elegant and pretty. Perfumed and pretty. — 7 years ago

@Peter Marks Interesting re longevity. Just read a tasting note on the 1996 RD Where It said halfway through its life.

Hi Bob, this was the 1990 vintage, and warmer year, and I think more advanced and ready to drink than the 1996. Could be the bottle too!
