Porter-Bass Vineyard Chardonnay 2012

The best California Chardonnay I have consumed. I will say it, grand cru like .
Complexity on every level. Every part of what makes up a wine melded perfectly to create this classic. Fruit and acid like Fred & Ginger. Purchased on release.. While I enjoyed my other bottles several years back this was on a different level. When I tasted this on release I wrote , has everything it needs just needs to sort itself out.

They told me that, but not sure why, as the vineyard is owned by Pheobe Bass’ family. I’m up there in early June and will ask!

Les Noisetiers Sonoma Coast Chardonnay

One word for this wine is concentration. Medium yellow. It radiates from the dark and fascinating profile of hazelnut and almond skin with enough acidity and oak integration to have none of the downside. I hate the expression but as manly of a chardonnay as it gets — 2 months ago

Surprise!. Not the biggest fan of their wines (white or red) but they have unexpected aging power.

This is one of my go to wines because it’s classic and goes well with many things. More in the oakier side and slightly heavy but I love the buttery flavor. — a month ago
