In great vintages, second wines from pedigree Chateauxs are always a safe bet, and this is no exception. Pretty open on the nose, indicating its readiness, while hidden tannins and iron/blood-like flavours on the palate suggests waiting is clever, as it’s still one dimensional and needs time to fully express itself. — 7 years ago

Super bright, raw honey notes, bing cherry — 7 years ago
Color of bubbly egg white. Nose of honey , a bit gasoline, pineapple, and actually a bit nutty and oaky note. Taste is sweet honey, some zesty peel, Sprite, citrus, lemonade like flavor, light yet refreshing. Aftertaste is a bit short, but definitely a crowd pleaser. — 7 years ago
Sight: pale yellow, medium viscosity
Smell: tropical, lime, sweet, vanilla,
Taste: medium acidity, oak, light tannin, orange, tropical flavor (pineapple, coconut, lime), buttery, starts of very bright followed by a nice bit of sweetness, that descends into a long finish, there is a smoothness though that comes through the the brightness and acidity almost like a melon of some sort.
Opinion: very nice Chardonnay, a little expensive, but almost worth the money. — 9 years ago

Silver oak continues to be my favorite wine with its smooth and silky taste. Obviously Alexander valley over Napa. 2008 is also a real treat. — 5 years ago
