A little bitter aftertaste, and the taste of the stainless steel left this Chardonnay a little lacking. 2018 vintage in November 2021. It has a crisp taste. Did not pare as well with seafood or poultry, as other Chardonnay’s. — 4 years ago
So...I had a birthday a couple weeks back and due to scheduling, my regular bottle finishing team wasn't available until now, so we're finally doing it up in my grand, unique style.
Notes possibly tomorrow, scores honestly tonight.
Decanted 6H.
24-Hour Update:
Nose has cedar, over-ripe cherry, crushed red currant, crisp red pepper slice, old leather, blackberry jam, over-ripe cranberry, black pepper and dry garden soil.
Palate has strawberry jam, tart cherry, dried cherry, orange zest, blackberry fruit gummy, dried tangerine, volcanic rocks and warm molasses cookie.
In a fine spot, anyone holding this in proper storage could probably expect this to live to a 10th birthday. — 4 years ago
Nice medium body and a smooth finish that lingers nicely for just a bit. — 6 years ago

Rustic and fast-forward, while dry and tasy. You can't do much better for $6. Thanks Lidl! — 7 years ago

Amici Cellars ‘Charles Heintz Vineyard’ Chardonnay 2014: Full-bodied. Elegant balance. Bright rich impressive flavors: Apple. Pear. Guava. Melon. Honey. Lemon zest. Soft oak with butter and a creamy, persistent finish. For me, this was an outstanding Chardonnay! Highly recommend if you are looking for a good value, age-worthy California Chardonnay. This wine will age wonderfully for many years to come. Great day to all! Cheers🍷 — 3 years ago

A flavorful Pinot with a nice body. — 7 years ago
My understanding is the ‘16 vintage of this is their last one as the SauvBlanc grapes have been ripped out as more Cab is being planted. Such a shame. This is a superb SB, one of the better ones I’ve had and reminiscent of another Mountain SB I’m fond of, Arkenstone. Everything about this is just rich and round. Guava, white peach skin and lemon tart bar aromatics. More viscous than most SBs on the palate showing limestone, pineapple and a Creamsicle like finish. Very white Bordeaux like and could hold for a few years. — 7 years ago
Could drink this every day. Perfectly balanced, medium-bodied 60-40% cab-primitivo. Dark cherry on the nose, smooth finish, delicious with steak, asparagus, roasted potatoes, and arugula salad. — a year ago
"Primitivo, a cousin of California’s fruit-packed Zinfandel, is the godfather of southern Italian grapes. It’s dark, rich and persuasively charming" — 4 years ago

Parádní primitivo, ten nádech tabáku a třísloviny. — 5 years ago
Celebrating my parents’ anniversary. I’ve always enjoyed Amici’s Spring Mountain expression. Rich, brooding dark fruits, cool eucalyptus, and Christmas spices. Lovely tannins and overall mouthfeel. Bottle signed by proprietor Bob Shepard. — 7 years ago
